Knowing what we must do is neither fundamental nor difficult, but to comprehend which presumptions and vain prejudices we must rid ourselves of in order to be able to educate our children is most difficult.

More quotes by Maria Montessori
in nature everything is transformed but nothing destroyed.
Maria Montessori
The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.
Maria Montessori
No social problem is as universal as the oppression of the child
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
Great tact and delicacy is necessary for the care of the mind of a child from three to six years, and an adult can have very little of it.
Maria Montessori
The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.
Maria Montessori
We must therefore turn to the child as to the key to the fate of our future life.
Maria Montessori
Growth comes from activity, not from intellectual understanding.
Maria Montessori
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
To give a child liberty is not to abandon him to himself.
Maria Montessori
Only practical work and experience lead the young to maturity.
Maria Montessori
We are the sowers - our children are those who reap. We labor so that future generations will be better and nobler than we are.
Maria Montessori
Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.
Maria Montessori
The whole of mankind is one and only one, one race, one class and one society.
Maria Montessori
The greatest source of discouragement is the conviction that one is unable to do something
Maria Montessori
Education must start from birth.
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
Watching a child makes it obvious that the development of his mind comes through his movements.
Maria Montessori
Whoever touches the life of the child touches the most sensitive point of a whole which has roots in the most distant past and climbs toward the infinite future.
Maria Montessori
The prize and punishments are incentives toward unnatural or forced effort, and, therefore we certainly cannot speak of the natural development of the child in connection with them.
Maria Montessori
