More quotes by Maria Montessori
Of all things love is the most potent.
Maria Montessori
Children must grow not only in the body but in the spirit, and the mother longs to follow the mysterious spiritual journey of the beloved one who to-morrow will be the intelligent, divine creation, man.
Maria Montessori
The objects in our system are instead a help to the child himself, he chooses what he wants for his own use, and works with it according to his own needs, tendencies and special interests. In this way, the objects become a means of growth.
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
The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child's own natural desire to learn.
Maria Montessori
Every great cause is born from repeated failures and from imperfect achievements.
Maria Montessori
The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.
Maria Montessori
An educational method that shall have liberty as its basis must intervene to help the child to a conquest of liberty. That is to say, his training must be such as shall help him to diminish as much as possible the social bonds which limit his activity.
Maria Montessori
The needs of mankind are universal. Our means of meeting them create the richness and diversity of the planet. The Montessori child should come to relish the texture of that diversity.
Maria Montessori
Teach by teaching, not by correcting
Maria Montessori
At birth, the child leaves a person - his mother's womb - and this makes him independent of her bodily functions. The baby is next endowed with an urge, or need, to face the out world and to absorb it. We might say that he is born with 'the psychology of world conquest.' By absorbing what he finds about him, he forms his own personality.
Maria Montessori
We must therefore turn to the child as to the key to the fate of our future life.
Maria Montessori
Freedom in intellectual work is found to be the basis of internal discipline.
Maria Montessori
Education should therefore include the two forms of work, manual and intellectual, for the same person, and thus make it understood by practical experience that these two kinds complete each other and are equally essential to a civilized existence.
Maria Montessori
It is not in human nature for all men to tread the same path of development, as animals do of a single species.
Maria Montessori
The children are now working as if I did not exist.
Maria Montessori
The greatest source of discouragement is the conviction that one is unable to do something
Maria Montessori
Nothing is created or destroyed in nature.
Maria Montessori
Movement, or physical activity, is thus an essential factor in intellectual growth, which depends upon the impressions received from outside. Through movement we come in contact with external reality, and it is through these contacts that we eventually acquire even abstract ideas.
Maria Montessori
A vital force is active in every individual and leads it towards its own evolution.
Maria Montessori
