- Hugh Prather
- They are slaves who fear to speak,
For the fallen and the weak. - James Russell Lowell (1819 - 1891)

- Maria Montessori (1870 - 1952)
- The more people have studied different methods of bringing up children the more they have come to the conclusion that what good mother and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is the best after all.
- Benjamin Spock (1903 - )
- Trust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
