“Il ne fait aucun doute que la jeunesse d'aujourd'hui doit être protégée contre certains effets toxiques inhérents à la civilisation actuelle. Cinq maladies sociales les entourent, même dans la petite enfance. Il y a le déclin de la forme physique dû aux méthodes modernes de locomotion ; la baisse de l'initiative due à la maladie généralisée de la spectatorite [ le mal causé par les loisirs] ; la baisse des soins et des compétences due à la tradition affaiblie de l'artisanat ; le déclin de l'autodiscipline en raison de la disponibilité omniprésente de tranquillisants et de stimulants, et le déclin de la compassion, que William Temple a appelé « mort spirituelle ».”

Kurt Hahn: Citations en anglais

“There can be no doubt that the youth of today have to be protected against certain poisonous effects inherent in present-day civilization. Five social diseases surround them, even in early childhood. There is the decline in fitness due to modern methods of locomotion; the decline in initiative due to the widespread disease of spectatoritis; the decline in care and skill due to the weakened tradition of craftsmanship; the decline in self-discipline due to the ever-present availability of tranquilizers and stimulants, and the decline in compassion, which William Temple called "spiritual death."”

“There are three ways of trying to win the young. You can preach at them—that is a hook without a worm. You can say, "You must volunteer"—that is of the devil. And you can tell them, "You are needed"—that appeal hardly ever fails.”

“What is it that is done to our children that their puberty should deform them? They have the joy of movement; they have an enterprising curiosity; they are ready for sensible self-denial; they dream ahead, and they have a faithful memory, and, above all, great compassion. […] The well-meaning educator who flatters and humours the young not only does a disservice to the community, but also damages the individual by depriving him of the opportunities of self-discovery.”

“An eminent man challenged me to explain what sailing in a schooner could do for international education. In reply, I said we had at that moment the application before us for a future king of an Arab country to enter Gordonstoun. I happened to have at the school some Jews… If the Arab and one of these Jews were to go out sailing on our schooner, perhaps in a Northeasterly gale, and if they were become thoroughly seasick together, I would have done something for international education.”
