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
Image
Movement, or physical activity, is thus an essential factor in intellectual growth, which depends upon the impressions received from outside. Through movement we come in contact with external reality, and it is through these contacts that we eventually acquire even abstract ideas.
Maria Montessori
Image
It is easy to substitute our will for that of the child by means of suggestion or coercion but when we have done this we have robbed him of his greatest right, the right to construct his own personality.
Maria Montessori
Image
Solicitous care for living things affords satisfaction to one of the most lively instincts of the child's mind. Nothing is better calculated than this to awaken an attitude of foresight.
Maria Montessori
Image
If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?
Maria Montessori
Image
The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.

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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It is true that we cannot make a genius. We can only give to teach child the chance to fulfil his potential possibilities.
Maria Montessori
Image
The child endures all things.
Maria Montessori
Image
To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.
Maria Montessori
Image
No adult can bear a child’s burden or grow up in his stead.
Maria Montessori
Image
A humankind abandoned in its earlier formative stage becomes its own greatest threat to survival.
Maria Montessori
Image
A vital force is active in every individual and leads it towards its own evolution.
Maria Montessori
Image
Every great cause is born from repeated failures and from imperfect achievements.
Maria Montessori
Image
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
Image
The child should live in an environment of beauty.
