More quotes by Maria Montessori
The instructions of the teacher consist then merely in a hint, a touch-enough to give a start to the child. The rest develops of itself.
Maria Montessori
Within the child lies the fate of the future.
Maria Montessori
My vision of the future is no longer of people taking exams and proceeding from secondary school to University but of passing from one stage of independence to a higher, by means of their own activity and effort of will.
Maria Montessori
The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.
Maria Montessori
Do not tell them how to do it. Show them how to do it and do not say a word. If you tell them, they will watch your lips move. If you show them, they will want to do it themselves.
Maria Montessori
Childhood constitutes the most important element in an adult's life, for it is in his early years that a man is made.
Maria Montessori
The senses, being the explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.
Maria Montessori
The adult ought never to mold the child after himself, but should leave him alone and work always from the deepest comprehension of the child himself.
Maria Montessori
The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself.
Maria Montessori
The child has other powers than ours, and the creation he achieves is no small one it is everything.
Maria Montessori
The child is much more spiritually elevated than is usually supposed. He often suffers, not from too much work, but from work that is unworthy of him.
Maria Montessori
Discipline must come through liberty.
Maria Montessori
A child starts from nothing and advances alone. It is the child's reason about which the sensitive periods revolve. The reason provides the initial force and energy, and a child absorbs his first images to assist the reason and act on it.
Maria Montessori
We are the sowers - our children are those who reap. We labor so that future generations will be better and nobler than we are.
Maria Montessori
Plainly, the environment must be a living one, directed by a higher intelligence, arranged by an adult who is prepared for his mission.
Maria Montessori
It is exactly in the repetition of the exercises that the education of the senses exists not that the child shall know colors, forms or qualities, but that he refine his senses through an exercise of attention, comparison and judgment.
Maria Montessori
To teach details is to bring confusion to establish the relationship between things is to bring knowledge.
Maria Montessori
Education today, in this particular social period, is assuming truly unlimited importance. And the increased emphasis on its practical value can be summed up in one sentence: education is the best weapon for peace.
Maria Montessori
It is well to cultivate a friendly feeling towards error, to treat it as a companion inseparable from our lives, as something having a purpose, which it truly has.
Maria Montessori
Environment is undoubtedly a secondary factor in the phenomena of life it can modify in that it can help or hinder, but it can never create.
Maria Montessori
