More quotes by Charlotte M. Mason

"Self-education is the only possible education; the rest is mere veneer laid on the surface of a child's nature."
"Let children alone... the education of habit is successful in so far as it enables the mother to let her children alone, not teasing them with perpetual commands and directions - a running fire of Do and Don’t ; but letting them go their own way and grow, having first secured that they will go the right way and grow to fruitful purpose."
