More quotes by Maria Montessori
The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.
Maria Montessori
Any child who is self-sufficient, who can tie his shoes, dress or undress himself, reflects in his joy and sense of achievement the image of human dignity which is derived from a sense of independence.
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
The hand is the prehensile organ of the mind.
Maria Montessori
We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit.
Maria Montessori
The prize and punishments are incentives toward unnatural or forced effort, and, therefore we certainly cannot speak of the natural development of the child in connection with them.
Maria Montessori
No one can be free unless he is independent. Therefore, the first active manifestations of the child's individual liberty must be so guided that through this activity he may arrive at independence.
Maria Montessori
It is not in human nature for all men to tread the same path of development, as animals do of a single species.
Maria Montessori
Adults have not understood children or adolescents and they are, as a consequence, in continual conflict with them.
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
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
If a child finds no stimuli for the activities which would contribute to his development, he is attracted simply to 'things' and desires to posses them.
Maria Montessori
The needs of mankind are universal. Our means of meeting them create the richness and diversity of the planet. The Montessori child should come to relish the texture of that diversity.
Maria Montessori
Preventing war is the work of politicians, establishing peace is the work of educationists.
Maria Montessori
It is easy to substitute our will for that of the child by means of suggestion or coercion but when we have done this we have robbed him of his greatest right, the right to construct his own personality.
Maria Montessori
But if for the physical life it is necessary to have the child exposed to the vivifying forces of nature, it is also necessary for his psychical life to place the soul of the child in contact with creation.
Maria Montessori
In the psychological realm of relationship between teacher and child, the teacher's part and its techniques are analogous to those of the valet they are to serve, and to serve well: to serve the spirit.
Maria Montessori
Little children, from the moment in which they are weaned, are making their way toward independence.
Maria Montessori
If children are allowed free development and given occupation to correspond with their unfolding minds their natural goodness will shine forth.
Maria Montessori
The senses, being the explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.
Maria Montessori
