More quotes by Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori
All human victories, all human progress, stand upon the inner force.
Maria Montessori
The greatest source of discouragement is the conviction that one is unable to do something

Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
Maria Montessori
Childhood constitutes the most important element in an adult's life, for it is in his early years that a man is made.
Maria Montessori
My vision of the future is no longer of people taking exams and proceeding from secondary school to University but of passing from one stage of independence to a higher, by means of their own activity and effort of will.
Maria Montessori
The first aim of the prepared environment is, as far as it is possible, to render the growing child independent of the adult.
Maria Montessori
The principal agent is the object itself and not the instruction given by the teacher. It is the child who uses the objects it is the child who is active, and not the teacher.
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
Do not offer the child the content of the mind, but the order for that content.
Maria Montessori
It is in the encounter of the maternal guiding instincts with the sensitive periods of the newly born that conscious love develops between parent and child.
Maria Montessori
