"Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child's soul." ∼ Friedrich Froebel


"Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward." ∼ Vernon Law

"An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life." ∼ Unknown

"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." ∼ Henry Brooks Adams

"Nothing comes without a struggle. Strife creates nothing by itself, it only clears the air. New seeds must be planted to germinate and grow, if we will have the tree of humanity blossom . . . We cannot tear the present from the past or from the future. Past, present, and future are the Trinity of time. In the children lies the seed-corn of the future!". ∼ Friedrich Froebel
