Janusz Korczak, a renowned Polish-Jewish educator, children’s author, and pediatrician, is remembered for his profound insights on education and the welfare of children. Here are some of his notable quotes:
1. ”Children are not the people of tomorrow, but people of today. They have a right to be taken seriously, and to be treated with tenderness and respect.”
2. ”When a child laughs, the world laughs. When a child cries, the world cries.”
3. ”Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded.”
4. ”There are no children, there are people, but with a different scale of concepts, a different range of experiences, different drives, different emotions.”
5. ”You do not leave a sick child alone to visit the healthy ones.”
6. ”A child is a being who gets dirty, feels sick, sleeps badly, and dies without the permission of the doctor.”
7. ”To make people good, one must be able to define goodness.”
8. ”If we are to preserve culture we must continue to create it.”
9. ”The child is a rational being who cannot, should not, and must not be manipulated by adult whims and caprices.”
10. ”To reform the world means to reform upbringing.”
These quotes reflect Korczak’s deep respect for children as individuals and his belief in the importance of treating them with dignity and understanding.
