"All children have creative power"

"Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!"

"Prestige is the shadow of money and power"

"Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made"

"Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them"

"If children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses"

"Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers"

"Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth"

"Power wears out those who don't have it"

"At the heart of the Reggio Emilia approach is the belief that children are full of potential, competent, and capable of constructing their own learning"

"The soul is healed by being with children"
