More quotes by Maria Montessori
Of all things love is the most potent.
Maria Montessori
When dealing with children there is greater need for observing than of probing
Maria Montessori
Bring the child to the consciousness of his own dignity, and he will be free. We see no limit to what should be offered to the child, for his will be an immense field of chosen activity.
Maria Montessori
The fundamental basis of education must always remain that one must act for oneself. That is clear. One must act for him or herself.
Maria Montessori
Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.
Maria Montessori
Free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes.
Maria Montessori
The child is an enigma… He has the highest potentialities, but we do not know what he will be.
Maria Montessori
Nothing is created or destroyed in nature.
Maria Montessori
Education, as conceived today, is something separated both from biological and social life.
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
Education today, in this particular social period, is assuming truly unlimited importance. And the increased emphasis on its practical value can be summed up in one sentence: education is the best weapon for peace.
Maria Montessori
The greatest triumph of our educational method should always be this: to bring about the spontaneous progress of the child.
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
There can be no substitute for work, neither affection nor physical well-being can replace it.
Maria Montessori
These words reveal the child’s inner needs ‘Help me to do it alone’.
Maria Montessori
There is in the child a special kind of sensitivity which leads him to absorb everything about him, and it is this work of observing and absorbing that alone enables him to adapt himself to life
Maria Montessori
By the age of three, the child has already laid down the foundations of his personality as a human being, and only then does he need the help of special scholastic influences. So great are the conquests he has made that one may well say: the child who goes to school at three is already a little man.
Maria Montessori
We must support as much as possible the child's desires for activity not wait on him, but educate him to be independent.
Maria Montessori
All our handling of the child will bear fruit, not only at the moment, but in the adult they are destined to become.
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
