For every one step that you take in the pursuit of higher knowledge, take three steps in the perfection of your own character

Rudolf Steiner

We shall not set up demands nor programmes, but simply describe the child-nature. (...) Vague and general phrases — 'the harmonious development of all the powers and talents in the child,' and so forth — cannot provide the basis for a genuine art of education. Such an art of education can only be built up on a real knowledge of the human being. Not that these phrases are incorrect, but that at bottom they are as useless as it would be to say of a machine that all its parts must be brought harmoniously into action. To work a machine you must approach it, not with phrases and truisms, but with real and detailed knowledge.

Rudolf Steiner

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

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.
