People
commonly educate their children as they build their houses,
according to some plan they think beautiful, without
considering whether it is suited to the purposes for which
they are designed.

In true
education, anything that comes to our hand is as good as a
book: the prank of a page- boy, the blunder of a servant, a
bit of table talk -- they are all part of the curriculum.
-- Michel Eyquem De Montaigne
1533-1592, French
Philosopher, Essayist
We only labor
to stuff the memory, and leave the conscience and the
understanding unfurnished and void.
-- Michel Eyquem De Montaigne
1533-1592, French

If an
educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that
one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of
life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid
the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of
arbitrary tasks.
-- Maria Montessori
1870-1952, Italian Educator
