Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

Of the three sorts of knowledge proper to a child, the knowledge of God, of man, and of the universe,
the knowledge of God ranks first in importance, is indispensable, and most happy-making. — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte M. Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

I think we owe it to children to let them dig their knowledge, of whatever subject, for themselves out of the "fit" book; and this for two reasons: What a child digs for is his own possession; what is poured into his ear, like the idle song of a pleasant singer, floats out as lightly as it came in, and is rarely assimilated. I do not mean to say that the lecture and the oral lesson are without their uses; but these uses are, to give impulse and to order knowledge; and not to convey knowledge ... — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Susan Schaeffer Macaulay

No parent/home/child/teacher/school has an all-round 100 percent wholeness. We all have limitations and problems. But I must never think it is all or nothing.
Perhaps I'd like to live in the country, but I don't. Well, maybe I can get the family to a park two times a week, and out to the country once every two weeks.
Maybe I have to send my child to a not-so-good school. Well, maybe we can read one or two good books together aloud. If you can't give them everything, give them something. — Susan Schaeffer Macaulay

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Karen Andreola

The habit of grown-ups reading living books and retaining the power to digest them will be lost if we refuse to give a little time for Mother Culture. A wise mother, an admired mother and wife, when asked how, with her weak physical health and many demands on her time, she managed to read so much said, "Besides my Bible, I always keep three books going that are just for me - a stiff book, a moderately easy book, and a novel or one of poetry. I always take up the one I feel fit for. That is the secret: always have something 'going' to grow by. — Karen Andreola

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte M. Mason

The person of winning personality attracts his pupils who will do anything for his sake and are fond and eager in all their ways, docile to the point where personality is submerged, and they live on the smiles, perish on the averted looks, of the adored teacher. Parents look on with a smile and think that all is well; but Bob or Mary is losing that growing time which should make a self-dependent, self-ordered person, and is day by day becoming a parasite who can go only as he is carried, the easy prey of fanatic or demagogue. — Charlotte M. Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

Of all the joyous motives of school life, the love of knowledge is the only abiding one; the only one which determines the scale, so to speak, upon which the person will hereafter live. — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

Wise and purposeful letting alone is the best part of education. — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

The problem before the educator is to give the child control over his own nature, to enable him to hold himself in hand as much in regard to the traits we call good, as to those we call evil:. — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

Let them get at the books themselves, and do not let them be flooded with diluted talk from the lips of their teacher. The less the parents 'talk-in' and expound their rations of knowledge and thought to the children they are educating, the better for the children ... Children must be allowed to ruminate, must be left alone with their own thoughts. — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte M. Mason

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. — Charlotte M. Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

To introduce children to literature is to instal them in a very rich and glorious kingdom, to bring a continual holiday to their doors, to lay before them a feast exquisitely served. But they must learn to know literature by being familiar with it from the very first. A child's intercourse must always be with good books, the best that we can find. — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Bronte

She bit me. She worried me like a tigress, when Rochester got the knife from her ... She sucked the blood: she said she'd drain my heart. Richard mason — Charlotte Bronte

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

Our aim in education is to give a full life. We owe it to them to initiate an immense number of interests. Life should be all living, and not merely a tedious passing of time; not all doing or all feeling or all thinking - the strain would be too great - but, all living; that is to say, we should be in touch wherever we go, whatever we hear, whatever we see, with some manner of vital interest. — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

The children's lessons should provide material for their mental growth, should exercise the several powers of their minds, should furnish them with fruitful ideas, and should afford them knowledge, really valuable for its own sake, accurate, and interesting, of the kind that the child may recall as a man with profit and pleasure. — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte M. Mason

Authority is just and faithful in all matters of promise-keeping; it is also considerate, and that is why a good mother is the best home-ruler. — Charlotte M. Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

Children should transcribe favourite passages.
A certain sense of possession and delight may be added to this exercise if children are allowed to choose for transcription their favorite verse in one poem or another ... But a book of their own, made up of their own chosen verses, should give them pleasure. — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

An observant child should be put in the way of things worth observing. — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

The teacher who allows his scholars the freedom of the city of books is at liberty to be their guide, philosopher and friend; and is no longer the mere instrument of forcible intellectual feeding. — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

Education is a matter of the spirit. No wiser word has been said on the subject, and yet we persist in applying education from without. No one knoweth the things of the man except the spirit of man which is in him; therefore, there is no education but self-education, and as soon as a young child begins his education, he does so as a student. Our business is to give him mind stuff. Both quantity and quality are essential. — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte M. Mason

We probably read Shakespeare in the first place for his stories, afterwards for his characters ... To become intimate with Shakespeare in this way is a great enrichment of mind and instruction of conscience. Then, by degrees, as we go on reading this world-teacher, lines of insight and beauty take possession of us, and unconsciously mould our judgments of men and things and of the great issues of life. — Charlotte M. Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

What a child digs for becomes his own possession, — Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte M. Mason

A child gets moral notions from the fairy-tales he delights in, as do his elders from tale and verse. — Charlotte M. Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte M. Mason

We all know the person for whose company we are the better, though the talk is only about fishing or embroidery. — Charlotte M. Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte Mason

Best Charlotte Mason Quotes By Charlotte M. Mason

My object is to show that the chief function of the child
his business in the world during the first six or seven years of his life
is to find out all he can, about whatever comes under his notice, by means of his five senses ... — Charlotte M. Mason
