“They are inherently good - the bad reactions aren't basic. Every human being is a child of God and has more good in him than evil - but circumstances and associates can step up the bad and reduce the good. I've got great faith in the essential fairness and decency - you may say goodness - of the human being.” HumansMayChildrenEvilHuman BeingsStepsCircumstancesEssentialsGoodnessReactionsFairnessAssociatesDecencyChild Of GodStep UpGreat Faith Author:Norman Vincent Peale

“Satan is ever seeking to inject that poison into our hearts to distrust God's goodness - especially in connection with his commandments. That is what really lies behind all evil, lusting and disobedience. A discontent with our position and portion, a craving from something which God has wisely held from us. Reject any suggestion that God is unduly severe with you. Resist with the utmost abhorrence anything that causes you to doubt God's love and his loving-kindness toward you. Allow nothing to make you question the Father's love for his child.” HeartChildrenLyingFaithEvilFatherCausesBehindsKindnessDoubtPositionGoodnessConnectionsSeekingLustSatanPoisonRejectsTrust In GodPortionsCommandmentsSevereSuggestionsDistrustCravingDisobedienceDiscontentGod's LoveLoving KindnessAbhorrence Author:Arthur W.

“Freedom without organization of work would be useless. The child left free without means of work would go to waste, just as a new-born baby, if left free without nourishment, would die of starvation.The organization of the work, therefore, is the cornerstone of this new structure of goodness [in education], but even that organization would be in vain without the liberty to make use of it.” IfsMeanChildrenUseWould BeDiesLeftBornLibertyBabyGoodnessWasteOrganizationStructureUselessVainStarvationNourishmentCornerstones Book:Montessori's Own Handbook Source: Montessori's Own Handbook
