More quotes by Maria Montessori
No one can be free unless he is independent.
Maria Montessori
Little children, from the moment in which they are weaned, are making their way toward independence.
Maria Montessori
Of all things love is the most potent.
Maria Montessori
The environment itself will teach the child, if every error he makes is manifest to him, without the intervention of a parent of teacher, who should remain a quiet observer of all that happens.
Maria Montessori
Free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes.
Maria Montessori
We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.
Maria Montessori
No adult can bear a child’s burden or grow up in his stead.
Maria Montessori
To consider the school as a place where instruction is given is one point of view. But, to consider the school as a preparation for life is another. In the latter case, the school must satisfy all the needs of life.
Maria Montessori
The hand is the prehensile organ of the mind.
Maria Montessori
The concept of an education centered upon the care of the living being alters all previous ideas. Resting no longer on a curriculum, or a timetable, education must conform to the facts of human life.
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
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 whole of mankind is one and only one, one race, one class and one society.
Maria Montessori
The real preparation for education is the study of one's self.
Maria Montessori
One of the great problems facing men is their failure to realize the fact that a child possesses an active psychic life even when he cannot manifest it, and that the child must secretly perfect this inner life over a long period of time.
Maria Montessori
Social grace, inner discipline and joy. These are the birthright of the human being who has been allowed to develop essential human qualities.
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
These words reveal the child’s inner needs ‘Help me to do it alone’.
Maria Montessori
The essential thing is to arouse such an interest that it engages the child’s whole personality.
Maria Montessori
Discipline must come through liberty. . . . We do not consider an individual disciplined only when he has been rendered as artificially silent as a mute and as immovable as a paralytic. He is an individual annihilated, not disciplined.
Maria Montessori
