More quotes by Maria Montessori
in nature everything is transformed but nothing destroyed.
Maria Montessori
The child is truly a miraculous being, and this should be felt deeply by the educator.
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
If children are allowed free development and given occupation to correspond with their unfolding minds their natural goodness will shine forth.
Maria Montessori
Education should therefore include the two forms of work, manual and intellectual, for the same person, and thus make it understood by practical experience that these two kinds complete each other and are equally essential to a civilized existence.
Maria Montessori
The objects in our system are instead a help to the child himself, he chooses what he wants for his own use, and works with it according to his own needs, tendencies and special interests. In this way, the objects become a means of growth.
Maria Montessori
Bring the child to the consciousness of his own dignity, and he will be free. We see no limit to what should be offered to the child, for his will be an immense field of chosen activity.
Maria Montessori
If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?
Maria Montessori
The child who has felt a strong love for his surroundings and for all living creatures, who has discovered joy and enthusiasm in work, gives us reason to hope that humanity can develop in a new direction.
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
It is necessary, then, to give the child the possibility of developing according to the laws of his nature, so that he can become strong, and, having become strong, can do even more than we dared hope for him.
Maria Montessori
The greatest triumph of our educational method should always be this: to bring about the spontaneous progress of the child.
Maria Montessori
Nothing is created or destroyed in nature.
Maria Montessori
Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
Maria Montessori
The child should live in an environment of beauty.
Maria Montessori
Happiness is not the whole aim of education. A man must be independent in his powers and character able to work and assert his mastery over all that depends on him.
Maria Montessori
A humankind abandoned in its earlier formative stage becomes its own greatest threat to survival.
Maria Montessori
Within the child lies the fate of the future.
Maria Montessori
What we need is a world full of miracles, like the miracle of seeing the young child seeking work and independence, and manifesting a wealth of enthusiasm and love.
Maria Montessori
One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.
Maria Montessori
