QUOTES

Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.

“One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.”

The greatest step forward in human evolution was made when society began to help the weak and the poor, instead of oppressing and despising them.

Within the child lies the fate of the future.
