More quotes by Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori
A child's work is to create the person she/he will become.
Maria Montessori
Little children, from the moment in which they are weaned, are making their way toward independence.
Maria Montessori
The senses, being the explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.
Maria Montessori
in nature everything is transformed but nothing destroyed.
Maria Montessori
Education must start from birth.
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
To have a vision of the cosmic plan, in which every form of life depends on directed movements which have effects beyond their conscious aim, is to understand the child's work and be able to guide it better.
Maria Montessori
The real preparation for education is a study of one's self. The training of the teacher...is something far more than a learning of ideas. It includes the training of character it is a preparation of the spirit.
Maria Montessori
Freedom in intellectual work is found to be the basis of internal discipline.
Maria Montessori
Social grace, inner discipline and joy. These are the birthright of the human being who has been allowed to develop essential human qualities.
Maria Montessori
A humankind abandoned in its earlier formative stage becomes its own greatest threat to survival.
Maria Montessori
Discipline must come through liberty. . . . We do not consider an individual disciplined only when he has been rendered as artificially silent as a mute and as immovable as a paralytic. He is an individual annihilated, not disciplined.
Maria Montessori
The essential thing is to arouse such an interest that it engages the child’s whole personality.
Maria Montessori
At birth, the child leaves a person - his mother's womb - and this makes him independent of her bodily functions. The baby is next endowed with an urge, or need, to face the out world and to absorb it. We might say that he is born with 'the psychology of world conquest.' By absorbing what he finds about him, he forms his own personality.
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
No one can be free unless he is independent.
Maria Montessori
The child is essentially alien to this society of men and might express his position in the words of the Gospel: My kingdom is not of this world
Maria Montessori
What advice can we give to new mothers? Their children need to work at an interesting occupation: they should not be helped unnecessarily, nor interrupted, once they have begun to do something intelligent.
Maria Montessori
Whoever touches the life of the child touches the most sensitive point of a whole which has roots in the most distant past and climbs toward the infinite future.
Maria Montessori
