More quotes by Maria Montessori
The unknown energy that can help humanity is that which lies hidden in the child.
Maria Montessori
If the idea of the universe is presented to the child in the right way, it will do more for him than just arouse his interest, for it will create in him admiration and wonder, a feeling loftier than any interest and more satisfying.
Maria Montessori
Happiness is not the whole aim of education. A man must be independent in his powers and character able to work and assert his mastery over all that depends on him.
Maria Montessori
No adult can bear a child’s burden or grow up in his stead.
Maria Montessori
There should be music in the child's environment, just as there does exist in the child's environment spoken speech. In the social environment the child should be considered and music should be provided.
Maria Montessori
The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!
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 social rights of children must be recognized so that a world suited to their needs may be constructed for them. The greatest crime that society commits is that of wasting the money which it should use for children on things that will destroy them and society itself as well.
Maria Montessori
No one who has ever done anything really great or successful has ever done it simply because he was attracted by what we call a 'reward' or by the fear of what we call a 'punishment.'
Maria Montessori
No one can be free unless he is independent.
Maria Montessori
First the education of the senses, then the education of the intellect.
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 child has a different relation to his environment from ours... the child absorbs it. The things he sees are not just remembered they form part of his soul. He incarnates in himself all in the world about him that his eyes see and his ears hear.
Maria Montessori
Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.
Maria Montessori
Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core.
Maria Montessori
We must therefore turn to the child as to the key to the fate of our future life.
Maria Montessori
Bring the child to the consciousness of his own dignity, and he will be free. We see no limit to what should be offered to the child, for his will be an immense field of chosen activity.
Maria Montessori
Growth comes from activity, not from intellectual understanding.
Maria Montessori
The children are now working as if I did not exist.
Maria Montessori
An interesting piece of work, freely chosen, which has the virtue of inducing concentration rather than fatigue, adds to the child's energies and mental capacities, and leads him to self-mastery.
Maria Montessori
