“What I have learned from my own experience is that the most important ingredients in a child's education are curiosity, interest, imagination, and a sense of the adventure of life.”
“A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started ... the fate of humanity is in his hands.”
“The most necessary task of civilization is to teach people how to think. It should be the primary purpose of our public schools. The mind of a child is naturally active, it develops through exercise. Give a child plenty of exercise, for body and brain.

It does not encourage original thought or reasoning, and it lays more stress on memory than observation.”
