More quotes by Maria Montessori
These words reveal the child’s inner needs ‘Help me to do it alone’.
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
It is exactly in the repetition of the exercises that the education of the senses exists not that the child shall know colors, forms or qualities, but that he refine his senses through an exercise of attention, comparison and judgment.
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

Maria Montessori
The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination.
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

Maria Montessori
All human victories, all human progress, stand upon the inner force.

The child endures all things.
Maria Montessori
To teach details is to bring confusion to establish the relationship between things is to bring knowledge.
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
Free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes.
Maria Montessori
If a child finds no stimuli for the activities which would contribute to his development, he is attracted simply to 'things' and desires to posses them.
Maria Montessori
The child’s parents are not his makers but his guardians.
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
He who is served is limited in his independence.
Maria Montessori
The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!
Maria Montessori
The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself.
Maria Montessori
