"While it is important to educate children, what is much more pressing is the need to love them. When education becomes more important than love, it is no longer education at all. For, tending to the delicate spirit of children is foundational if education is to fulfill its intended purpose of serving the greater whole."

- Vince Gowmon

"Remind yourself daily: While education is useful, it’s love that children and the world need. A deeply loved child with only some education will go much further than a well educated child lacking love."

- Vince Gowmon

"Too much leading and we create anxiety for children. Too much following and the same is true. In wisdom we find balance between the two."

- Vince Gowmon

"Don’t educate a child to become something or someone, educate to help them explore and celebrate who they already are."

- Vince Gowmon

"Stop trying to turn children into someone they are not. Instead, let them unfold into who no human can imagine them to be."
