More quotes by Maria Montessori
To consider the school as a place where instruction is given is one point of view. But, to consider the school as a preparation for life is another. In the latter case, the school must satisfy all the needs of life.
Maria Montessori
Never help a child with a task that they feel they can complete themselves.
Maria Montessori
The child is endowed with unknown powers, which can guide us to a radiant future. If what we really want is a new world, then education must take as its aim the development of these hidden possibilities.
Maria Montessori
The real preparation for education is the study of one's self.
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
Order is not goodness but perhaps it is the indispensable road to arrive at it.
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
The first idea that the child must acquire, in order to be actively disciplined, is that of the difference between good and evil.
Maria Montessori
Preventing war is the work of politicians, establishing peace is the work of educationists.
Maria Montessori
A teacher, therefore, who would think that he could prepare himself for his mission through study alone would be mistaken. The first thing required of a teacher is that he be rightly disposed for his task.
Maria Montessori
It is almost possible to say that there is a mathematical relationship between the beauty of his surroundings and the activity of the child he will make discoveries rather more voluntarily in a gracious setting than in an ugly one.
Maria Montessori
Within the child lies the fate of the future.
Maria Montessori
It is in the encounter of the maternal guiding instincts with the sensitive periods of the newly born that conscious love develops between parent and child.
Maria Montessori
Movement, or physical activity, is thus an essential factor in intellectual growth, which depends upon the impressions received from outside. Through movement we come in contact with external reality, and it is through these contacts that we eventually acquire even abstract ideas.
Maria Montessori
The hand is the prehensile organ of the mind.
Maria Montessori
Within the child lies the fate of the future. Whoever wishes to confer some benefit on society must preserve him from deviations and observe his natural ways of acting. A child is mysterious and powerful and contains within himself the secret of human nature.
Maria Montessori
The teacher, when she begins work in our schools, must have a kind of faith that the child will reveal himself through work.
Maria Montessori
Of all things love is the most potent.
Maria Montessori
A vital force is active in every individual and leads it towards its own evolution.
Maria Montessori
The child should live in an environment of beauty.
Maria Montessori
