More quotes by Maria Montessori
The unknown energy that can help humanity is that which lies hidden in the child.
Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori
The child becomes a person through work.
Maria Montessori
To let the child do as he likes when he has not yet developed any powers of control is to betray the idea of freedom.
Maria Montessori
A humankind abandoned in its earlier formative stage becomes its own greatest threat to survival.
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
We are the sowers - our children are those who reap. We labor so that future generations will be better and nobler than we are.

Maria Montessori
Every great cause is born from repeated failures and from imperfect achievements.
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 development of the mind comes through movement
Maria Montessori
Order is not goodness but perhaps it is the indispensable road to arrive at it.
Maria Montessori
The child is endowed with unknown powers, which can guide us to a radiant future. If what we really want is a new world, then education must take as its aim the development of these hidden possibilities.
Maria Montessori
The real preparation for education is the study of one's self.
Maria Montessori
