We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.

Joy, feeling one's own value, being appreciated and loved by others, feeling useful and capable of production are all factors of enormous value for the human soul.

The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.

Now, what really makes a teacher is love for the human child; for it is love that transforms the social duty of the educator into the higher consciousness of a mission.

A doctor is not a mechanic. A car doesn't react with a mechanic, but a human being does.

There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.
