More quotes by Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori
How often is the soul of man - especially in childhood - deprived because he is not allowed to come in contact with nature.
Maria Montessori
The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.
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
When children come into contact with nature, they reveal their strength.
Maria Montessori
What is a scientist?... We give the name scientist to the type of man who has felt experiment to be a means guiding him to search out the deep truth of life, to lift a veil from its fascinating secrets, and who, in this pursuit, has felt arising within him a love for the mysteries of nature, so passionate as to annihilate the thought of himself.
Maria Montessori
We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit.
Maria Montessori
Watching a child makes it obvious that the development of his mind comes through his movements.
Maria Montessori
