Ieder gezond, jong mensch voelt op een zekeren leeftijd dat zijn hoogste aspiraties, zijn beste capaciteiten worden neergehouden en doodgedrukt door wat men maatschappelijke verplichting noemt. |

Drijf uw kinderen niet met dweepzucht of bekrompenheid in dezen of genen afgepaalden weg, maar geef hen ruimte, zoek voor hun geest alle voedsel, dat zij van nature behoeven en waarbij zij gedijen en vreugde vinden. |
