More quotes by Maria Montessori
A vital force is active in every individual and leads it towards its own evolution.
Maria Montessori
If the idea of the universe is presented to the child in the right way, it will do more for him than just arouse his interest, for it will create in him admiration and wonder, a feeling loftier than any interest and more satisfying.
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 teacher, when she begins work in our schools, must have a kind of faith that the child will reveal himself through work.
Maria Montessori
Order is not goodness but perhaps it is the indispensable road to arrive at it.
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
Watching a child makes it obvious that the development of his mind comes through his movements.
Maria Montessori
There should be music in the child's environment, just as there does exist in the child's environment spoken speech. In the social environment the child should be considered and music should be provided.

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
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
If children are allowed free development and given occupation to correspond with their unfolding minds their natural goodness will shine forth.
Maria Montessori
The social rights of children must be recognized so that a world suited to their needs may be constructed for them. The greatest crime that society commits is that of wasting the money which it should use for children on things that will destroy them and society itself as well.
Maria Montessori
No social problem is as universal as the oppression of the child
Maria Montessori
Preventing war is the work of politicians, establishing peace is the work of educationists.
