Image
When the past has taught us that we have more within us than we have ever used, our prayer is a cry to the divine to come to us and fill us with its power.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Sounds are the echo of the Harmony of the Spheres which man took into himself when he came down from the divine-spiritual world into the physical world.
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
It is the death of present art when it returns again and again to the model. Use of the model is only an intermediate stage in artistic development. Create out of a living spirituality to overcome everything naturalistic.
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
Image
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 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.

Thinking... is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Knowledge of life in the astral world leads us to a conclusion of fundamental importance, namely that the physical world is the product of the astral world.
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
Wherever love and compassion are active in life, we can perceive the magic breath of the spirit blowing through the sense world.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
If man wants to obtain knowledge of the greatness and happiness of these worlds, then is nothing else possible than that he also will be introduced to the dangerous, with the fearfulness that they contain. One is not possible without the other.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The student of mathematics must get rid of all arbitrary thinking and follow purely the demands of thought. In thinking in this way, the laws of the spiritual world flow into him. This regulated thinking leads to the most spiritual truths.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Our task is to harvest from the mortal world fruits for the immortal.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Our highest endeavour must be to develop individuals who are able out of their own initiative to impart purpose & direction to their lives.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
A race or nation stands so much the higher, the more perfectly its members express the pure, ideal human type ... The evolution of man through the incarnations in ever higher national and racial forms is thus a process of liberation [leading to] an ideal future.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Love is higher than opinion. If people love one another the most varied opinions can be reconciled - thus one of the most important tasks for humankind today and in the future is that we should learn to live together and understand one another. If this human fellowship is not achieved, all talk of development is empty.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Intuition is the conscious experience - in pure spirit - of a purely spiritual content.
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
Live through deeds of love, and let others live with tolerance for their unique intentions.
