More quotes by Maria Montessori
Free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes.
Maria Montessori
There are many who hold, as I do, that the most important part of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when a man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed. But not only his intelligence the full totality of his psychic powers.
Maria Montessori
Little children, from the moment in which they are weaned, are making their way toward independence.
Maria Montessori
The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.
Maria Montessori
Adults have not understood children or adolescents and they are, as a consequence, in continual conflict with them.

Maria Montessori
The child is the spiritual builder of mankind, and obstacles to his free development are the stones in the wall by which the soul of man has become imprisoned.
Maria Montessori
The greatest source of discouragement is the conviction that one is unable to do something
Maria Montessori
The child’s parents are not his makers but his guardians.
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
The instructions of the teacher consist then merely in a hint, a touch-enough to give a start to the child. The rest develops of itself.
Maria Montessori
