The great didactic of John Amos Comenius; Quotes

“There are also few teachers who can bring good principles home to the young, and when one arises he is snatched up by some man in high position that he may busy himself with his children; the people get little advantage from him. Thus it comes to pass that the rest of the children grow up without the education that they need, like a forest which no one plants, waters, cuts, or keeps in order.”
― Jan Amos Komenský, The great didactic of John Amos Comenius;

“que el animal racional, el hombre, se guíe por su propia razón, no por la ajena; no se limite únicamente a leer y aprender en los libros pareceres y consideraciones ajenos de las cosas, o a retenerlas en la memoria y recitarlas, sino que sea capaz de penetrar hasta la médula de las cosas y conocer de ellas su verdadera significación y empleo.”
― Jan Amos Komenský, Didáctica Magna
