interesting thoughts.
i played too!
My favorite by him is "If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things." My sister used to shirk her toys for hours with a few items lying around the table. She'd make pencils be people while my mom was correcting homework. The imagination of a child is an amazing thing if allowed to flourish.
There are a few of his quotes I like. This one about character is also a good one. "You can construct the character of a man and his age not only from what he does and says, but from what he fails to say and do."
