“There is in the world no rock or tower of such a height that it cannot be scaled by any man (provided he lack not feet) if ladders are placed in the proper position or steps are cut in the rock, made in the right place, and furnished with railings against the danger of falling over. If we examine ourselves, we see that our faculties grow in such a manner that what goes before paves the way for what comes after.” IfsMenWorldWayMadeFallGrowsStepsCuttingFeetRocksDangerPositionHeightFacultyTowersLaddersRight Place Author:John Amos Comenius
“The proper education of the young does not consist in stuffing their heads with a mass of words, sentences, and ideas dragged together out of various authors, but in opening up their understanding to the outer world, so that a living stream may flow from their own minds, just as leaves, flowers, and fruit spring from the bud on a tree.” WorldMindMayDoeIdeasTogetherYoungUnderstandingTreeFlowerMassSpringFlowFruitVariousSentencesOpeningStreamsBudOpening UpOuter Worlds Author:John Amos Comenius
“We are all citizens of one world, we are all of one blood. To hate people because they were born in another country, because they speak a different language, or because they take a different view on this subject or that, is a great folly.

Let us have but one end in view: the welfare of humanity.” PeopleWorldHumansDifferentEndsCountryHateHumanitySpeakLanguageBornCommunityViewsBloodSubjectsCitizensWelfareFollyHate PeopleDifferent LanguagesDifferent Views Author:John Amos Comenius
