“What you have is a ductless gland, a thyroid, that causes that you dont babble, but speak, that your lingo interconnects thoughts, and so on.
You have ductless glands in your adrenal, that cause that you do not become black, but stay beautiful white people, and so forth.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“There are children that are born with horseshoeheads, Hydrozephaly.
You can in most cases revert this to the fact, that the mother was terribly bored in the first weeks of pregnancy.
Because boredom drains the head, the empty head also drains the abdomen. The abdomen does not develop tautly enough. The head will swell, become a horseshoehead.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“X.: How far does one go when punishing the children?
Dr. Steiner: That is of course dependend on the case. Best would be, of course, if you had to punish as little as possible. But it can be the case that it is necessary to give a little beating.”

“We are made of numerous tiny men. Our big human is just a centralization of plenty of small men.
The next thing i will show you is, that inside of the eye there also is a tiny man. The nose also is a tiny man. And these tiny men are held together by the nervous system and form the complete man.
And all those tiny humans are created while man is still in a seminal state in the mothers body, by the influence of the celestial bodies.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“When for example the mother has never seen a person with an noticeable crooked nose, and she is meeting someone like that in the first months of pregnancy, her child will in most cases get a crooked nose, too.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“Everything that awards those special features to the ethiopian race, orginates in Mercury´s powers boiling and bubbling in the gland system of those people.
That results from them giving off, what makes the similar, common human shape become the special one of the ethiopian race, with the black colored skin, wooly hair and so on.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“The Atlanteans had appliances which they would – so to speak – heat with plant seed, and inside of them the life force would turn into technical force.
Thats how their floating vehicles were propelled. These vehicles travelled at a height lower than that of the mountain ranges of the Atlantean period, and they had steering mechanisms by the aid of which they could rise above these mountain ranges.” (Rudolf Steiner)
