“For the mind is capable of dealing with only one kind of food; it lives, grows and is nourished upon ideas only; mere information is to it as a meal of sawdust to the body; there are no organs for the assimilation of the one more than of the other.” MindKindIdeasBodyGrowsInformationCapableMereMealsOrgansAssimilationSawdust Book:Towards a Psychology of Education Source: Towards a Psychology of Education

“Education is a life; that life is sustained on ideas; ideas are of spiritual origin, and that we get them chiefly as we convey them to one another. The duty of parents is to sustain a child's inner life with ideas as they sustain his body with food.” ChildrenIdeasBodySpiritualLife IsParentDutyInner Life Book:The Original Home School Series Source: The Original Home School Series
