Quote

The heart of the Waldorf method is that education is an art-it must speak to the child's experience. To educate the whole child, his heart and his will must be reached, as well as the mind.

Rudolf Steiner
Image
The smallest thing in its rightful place can lead to the highest goals.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Reverence awakens in the soul a sympathetic power through which we attract qualities in the beings around us, which would otherwise remain concealed.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
You will not be good teachers if you focus only on what you do and not upon who you are.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
In so far as we think, we are the all-one being that pervades everything.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge, to guide the Spiritual in the human being to the Spiritual in the universe.
Rudolf Steiner

A real medicine can only exist when it penetrates into a knowledge which embraces the human being in respect to body, soul and spirit.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The sun with loving light makes bright for me each day, the soul with spirit power gives strength unto my limbs. In sunlight shining clear I revere, Oh God, the strength of humankind, which thou has planted in my soul, that I may with all my might, may love to work and learn. From thee stream light and strength to thee rise love and thanks.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
In order to approach a creation as sublime as the Bhagavad-Gita with full understanding it is necessary to attune our soul to it.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Goethe's thinking was not rigid with inflexible contours it was a thinking in which the concepts continually metamorphose.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Truth is a free creation of the human spirit, that never would exist at all if we did not generate it ourselves.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Each individual is a species unto him/herself.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Every human being shall see in each and all of his fellow-men a hidden divinity... that every human being is made in the likeness of the Godhead. When that time comes there will be no need for any religious coercion for then every meeting between one man and another will of itself be in the nature of a religious rite, a sacrament.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
If humanity is to live in the future in a socially right way, humanity must educate its children in a socially right way.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Where the realm of freedom of thought and action begin, the determination of individuals according to generic laws ends.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge, to guide the spiritual in the human being to the spiritual in the universe... Anthroposophists are those who experience, as an essential need of life, certain questions on the nature of the human being and the universe, just as one experiences hunger and thirst.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Seek the truly practical life, but seek it in such a way that it does not blind you to the spirit working in it. Seek the spirit, but seek it not out of spiritual greed, but so that you may apply it in the genuinely practical life.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Where God's presence is no longer a tenable proposition and where his absence is no longer a felt, indeed overwhelming weight, certain dimensions of thought and creativity are no longer attainable.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
For what lies inside of man is the whole spiritual cosmos in condensed form. In man's inner organism we have an image of the entire cosmos.
