Peace is a goal that can be attained only through common accord, and the means to achieve this unity for peace are twofold: first, an immediate effort to resolve conflicts without recourse to violence-in other words, to prevent war- and second, a long-term effort to establish a lasting peace among mankind. Preventing conflicts is the work of politics; establishing peace is the work of education.

It is necessary, then, to give the child the possibility of developing according to the laws of his nature, so that he can become strong, and having become strong, can do even more than we dared hope for him.
