To Understand Is To Invent.

The More We Try To Improve Our Schools, The Heavier The Teaching Task Becomes; And The Better Our Teaching Methods The More Difficult They Are To Apply.

Every Time We Teach A Child Something, We Keep Him From Inventing It Himself. On The Other Hand, That Which We Allow Him To Discover For Himself Will Remain With Him Visible For The Rest Of His Life.

The Principle Goal Of Education In The Schools Should Be Creating Men And Women Who Are Capable Of Doing New Things, Not Simply Repeating What Other Generations Have Done.

The Need To Speak The Truth And Even To Seek It For Oneself Is Only Conceivable In So Far As The Individual Thinks And Acts As One Of A Society, And Not Of Any Society (for It Is Just The Constraining Relations Between Superior And Inferior That Often Drive The Latter To Prevarication) But Of A Society Founded On Reciprocity And Mutual Respect, And Therefore On Cooperation.

During The Earliest Stages The Child Perceives Things Like A Solipsist Who Is Unaware Of Himself As Subject And Is Familiar Only With His Own Actions.
