More quotes by Maria Montessori
Children are not only sensitive to silence, but also to a voice which calls them ... Out of that silence.
Maria Montessori
Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.
Maria Montessori
Plainly, the environment must be a living one, directed by a higher intelligence, arranged by an adult who is prepared for his mission.
Maria Montessori
Do not tell them how to do it. Show them how to do it and do not say a word. If you tell them, they will watch your lips move. If you show them, they will want to do it themselves.
Maria Montessori
A child's work is to create the person she/he will become.

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.

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
A teacher, therefore, who would think that he could prepare himself for his mission through study alone would be mistaken. The first thing required of a teacher is that he be rightly disposed for his task.
Maria Montessori
Nothing is created or destroyed in nature.
Maria Montessori
We must therefore turn to the child as to the key to the fate of our future life.
Maria Montessori
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
Adults have not understood children or adolescents and they are, as a consequence, in continual conflict with them.
Maria Montessori
These words reveal the child’s inner needs ‘Help me to do it alone’.
Maria Montessori
Education should no longer be most imparting of knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities.
Maria Montessori
No one can be free unless he is independent.
Maria Montessori
A vital force is active in every individual and leads it towards its own evolution.
