More quotes by Maria Montessori
The real preparation for education is a study of one's self. The training of the teacher...is something far more than a learning of ideas. It includes the training of character it is a preparation of the spirit.
Maria Montessori
Happiness is not the whole aim of education. A man must be independent in his powers and character able to work and assert his mastery over all that depends on him.
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
At a given moment a child becomes interested in a piece of work, showing it by the expression of his face, by his intense attention, by his perseverance in the same exercise. That child has set foot upon the road leading to discipline.
Maria Montessori
The development of the mind comes through movement
Maria Montessori
The greatest source of discouragement is the conviction that one is unable to do something
Maria Montessori
If we can, when we have established individual discipline, arrange the children, sending each one to his own place, in order, trying to make them understand the idea that thus placed they look well, and that it is a good thing to be placed in order . . .
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
The real preparation for education is the study of one's self.
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
Only when the child is able to identify its own center with the center of the universe does education really begin.
Maria Montessori
No one who has ever done anything really great or successful has ever done it simply because he was attracted by what we call a 'reward' or by the fear of what we call a 'punishment.'
Maria Montessori
It is well to cultivate a friendly feeling towards error, to treat it as a companion inseparable from our lives, as something having a purpose, which it truly has.
Maria Montessori
in nature everything is transformed but nothing destroyed.
Maria Montessori
All human victories, all human progress, stand upon the inner force.
Maria Montessori
There are many things which no teacher can convey to a child of three, but a child of five can do it with ease.
Maria Montessori
Never help a child with a task that they feel they can complete themselves.
Maria Montessori
Knowing what we must do is neither fundamental nor difficult, but to comprehend which presumptions and vain prejudices we must rid ourselves of in order to be able to educate our children is most difficult.
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
The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.
Maria Montessori
