“Children learn eagerly and well when they have need of the knowledge.”

“Children don't need learning. They need access to what they want to learn outside the home.”

“Children...need most of the same things adults need--consideration, respect for their work, the knowledge that they and the things they do are taken seriously.”

“Learning is retarded in conditions of high anxiety and low acceptance. For most tasks, people have the intellectual knowledge to perform well; they just have a hard time acting on what they know.”

“The French believe that kids feel confident when they're able to do things for themselves, and do those things well. After children have learned to talk, adults don't praise them for saying just anything. They praise them for saying interesting things, and for speaking well.”

“To say that God is omniscient is to say that He possesses perfect knowledge and therefore has no need to learn. But it is more: it is to say that God has never learned and cannot learn.”
