More quotes by Maria Montessori
Discipline must come through liberty.
Maria Montessori
Since it is through movement that the will realises itself, we should assist a child in his attempts to put his will into act.
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
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
There is no description, no image in any book that is capable of replacing the sight of real trees, and all of the life to be found around them in a real forest.
Maria Montessori
A great deal of time and intellectual force are lost in the world, because the false seems great and the truth so small and insignificant.
Maria Montessori
The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.
Maria Montessori
A vital force is active in every individual and leads it towards its own evolution.
Maria Montessori
We are the sowers - our children are those who reap. We labor so that future generations will be better and nobler than we are.
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 assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.
Maria Montessori
The first duty of the educator, whether he is involved with the newborn infant or the older child, is to recognize the human personality of the young being and respect 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
Only when the child is able to identify its own center with the center of the universe does education really begin.
Maria Montessori
As soon as children find something that interests them they lose their instability and learn to concentrate.
Maria Montessori
Do not offer the child the content of the mind, but the order for that content.
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
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
Scientific observation then has established that education is not what the teacher gives education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon the environment.
Maria Montessori
It is not the child as a physical but as a psychic being that can provide a strong impetus to the betterment of mankind. It is the spirit of the child that can determine the course of human progress and lead it perhaps even to a higher form of civilization.
Maria Montessori
