More quotes by Maria Montessori

Image
A great deal of time and intellectual force are lost in the world, because the false seems great and the truth so small and insignificant.
Maria Montessori
Image
If we can, when we have established individual discipline, arrange the children, sending each one to his own place, in order, trying to make them understand the idea that thus placed they look well, and that it is a good thing to be placed in order . . .
Maria Montessori
Image
The whole of mankind is one and only one, one race, one class and one society.
Maria Montessori
Image
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
Image
He who is served is limited in his independence.
Maria Montessori
Image
In nature nothing creates itself and nothing destroys itself.
Maria Montessori
Image
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.

It is necessary, then, to give the child the possibility of developing according to the laws of his nature, so that he can become strong, and, having become strong, can do even more than we dared hope for him.
Maria Montessori

The child’s parents are not his makers but his guardians.
Maria Montessori

We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit.
Maria Montessori

The child is much more spiritually elevated than is usually supposed. He often suffers, not from too much work, but from work that is unworthy of him.
Maria Montessori
Image
Discipline must come through liberty.
Maria Montessori
Image
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
Image
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
The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.
Maria Montessori
Image
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
Image
All human victories, all human progress, stand upon the inner force.
Maria Montessori
Image
Preventing war is the work of politicians, establishing peace is the work of educationists.
Maria Montessori
Image
The human hand allows the mind to reveal itself.
Maria Montessori
Image
Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.
