Excerpt from The Seven Laws of Teaching
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old he will not depart from it." - Bible.
"Why is it that we, the elder, are spared to the world, except to train up and instruct the young? It is impossible that the gay little folks should guide and teach themselves, and accordingly God has committed to us who are old and experienced the knowledge which is needful for them, and he will require of us a strict account of what we have done with it." - Martin Luther.
"Faith in God is the source of peace in life; peace in life is the source of inward order; inward order i the source of the unerring application of our powers, and this again is the source of the growth of those powers, and of their training in wisdom; wisdom is the spring of all human blessings." - Pestalozzi.
"If you follow nature, the education you give will succeed without giving you trouble and perplexity; especially if you do not insist upon acquirements precocious or over-extensive." - Plato.
"It should not be claimed that there is no art or science of training up to virtue. Remember how absurd it would be to believe that even the most trifling employment has its rules and methods, and at the same time, that the highest of all departments of human effort - virtue - can be mastered without instruction and practice!" - Cicero.
