Work, Love, Flower, Music, Hope, Faith

Eyring

Live, World, Finding, Long, Look, Meet

Change, Power, Yourself, Negative, Speak

Life, Relationship, Power, Day, Theatre

Beauty, Mathematics, Recognition, Down

The child's mind is not the type of mind we adults possess. If we call our type of mind the conscious type, that of the child is an unconscious mind.

Maria Montessori

Intelligence, Mind, Child, Find, Will
