"Whatever the natural gifts of the child, it is only so far as the habit of attention is cultivated in him that he is able to make use of them."  Charlotte Mason


"Thinking comes by practice."  Charlotte Mason

  1. I love these quotes! My favorite is "Let children have tales of the imagination, scenes laid in other lands and other times; heroic adventures, hairbreadth escapes, delicious fairy tales, even where it is all impossible, and they know it, and yet they believe." I have such good memories of imaginative adventures as a kids, and my own children have had many of their own. :-)
