This is the treasure we need today - helping the child become independent of us and make his way by himself, receiving in return his gifts of hope and light.

The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child's own natural desire to learn.

Do not tell them how to do it. Show them how to do it and do not say a word. If you tell them, they will watch your lips move. If you show them, they will want to do it themselves.

The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life.

To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.

The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.

Peace is what every human being is craving for, and it can be brought about by humanity through the child.

We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.

The greatest sign of success for a teacher...is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist."

Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.

Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core.

Pull the string and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.

Perfection is a ridiculous goal because there is no such thing. Real beauty is what you are inside.

My brain as the engine, with thoughts trailing to the caboose, on a one-track mind we keep going forward.

Warren spends 70 hours a week thinking about investing .

Beauty is a terrible and awful thing! It is terrible because it has not been fathomed, for God sets us nothing but riddles. Here the boundaries meet and all contradictions exist side by side.

Consequences give us the pain that motivates us to change.

Dear Father, take my heart on a prayer journey today to erase the distance between those I love and me. Amen.

O painter, take care lest the greed for gain prove a stronger incentive than renown in art, for to gain this renown is a far greater thing than is the renown of riches.

And I remember looking at Gray Davis and, you know, Gray is the consummate political operative.

One can't erase the tremendous burden of apartheid in 10 years, 20 years, I believe, even 30 years.
