“Childhood’s work is learning, and it is in his play...that the child works at his job.”

“The freest child is the child who is most interested in what he is doing, and at whose hand are the materials for his work or play.”

“It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.”

“Without ongoing training in tailoring instruction to individual learners (and support in doing so), “fault” for underperformance or disengagement from learning is frequently shifted to the child: The child is lazy, has an attitude problem, or refuses to work up to his or her potential. The child is enormously vulnerable in this system.”

“I had to learn what my grandfather and mother knew about some of this journey’s problems. My job was to sit back and let the Lord work it out according to His will. That’s the best way —always!”

“The love of a man for his wife, his child, of the land where he lives and works, is for me the real meaning of mystical experience.”
