More quotes by Maria Montessori
Education must start from birth.
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
The ‘absorbent mind’ welcomes everything, puts its hope in everything, accepts poverty equally with wealth, adopts any religion and the prejudices and habits of its countrymen, incarnating all in itself. This is the child!
Maria Montessori
But if for the physical life it is necessary to have the child exposed to the vivifying forces of nature, it is also necessary for his psychical life to place the soul of the child in contact with creation.
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
Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.
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
A new education from birth onwards must be built up. Education must be reconstructed and based on the law of nature and not on the preconceived notions and prejudices of adult society.
Maria Montessori
The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself.
Maria Montessori

All our handling of the child will bear fruit, not only at the moment, but in the adult they are destined to become.
Maria Montessori
Human dignity ... is derived from a sense of independence.
Maria Montessori
The greatest step forward in human evolution was made when society began to help the weak and the poor, instead of oppressing and despising them.
Maria Montessori
Scientific observation then has established that education is not what the teacher gives education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon the environment.
Maria Montessori
The human hand allows the mind to reveal itself.
Maria Montessori
Free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes.
Maria Montessori
No one can be free unless he is independent. Therefore, the first active manifestations of the child's individual liberty must be so guided that through this activity he may arrive at independence.
Maria Montessori
Of all things love is the most potent.
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
Order is not goodness but perhaps it is the indispensable road to arrive at it.
Maria Montessori
