More quotes by Maria Montessori
The child becomes a person through work.
Maria Montessori
The child is an enigma… He has the highest potentialities, but we do not know what he will be.
Maria Montessori
A vital force is active in every individual and leads it towards its own evolution.
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
Concentration is the key that opens up to the child the latent treasures within him.
Maria Montessori
The first idea that the child must acquire, in order to be actively disciplined, is that of the difference between good and evil.
Maria Montessori
Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.
Maria Montessori
The child’s parents are not his makers but his guardians.
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
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
A great deal of time and intellectual force are lost in the world, because the false seems great and the truth so small and insignificant.
Maria Montessori
Teach by teaching, not by correcting
Maria Montessori
A teacher, therefore, who would think that he could prepare himself for his mission through study alone would be mistaken. The first thing required of a teacher is that he be rightly disposed for his task.
Maria Montessori
It follows that at the beginning of his life the individual can accomplish wonders without effort and quite unconsciously.
Maria Montessori
If a child finds no stimuli for the activities which would contribute to his development, he is attracted simply to 'things' and desires to posses them.
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
If I am going up a ladder, and a dog begins to bite at my ankles, I can do one of two things - either turn round and kick out at the it, or simply go on up the ladder. I prefer to go up the ladder!
Maria Montessori
No one can be free unless he is independent.
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
in nature everything is transformed but nothing destroyed.
Maria Montessori
