More quotes by Maria Montessori
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
Nothing is created or destroyed in nature.
Maria Montessori
The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination.
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
The unknown energy that can help humanity is that which lies hidden in the child.
Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori
Beauty lies in harmony, not in contrast and harmony is refinement therefore, there must be a fineness of the senses if we are to appreciate harmony.
Maria Montessori
No adult can bear a child’s burden or grow up in his stead.
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
These words reveal the child’s inner needs ‘Help me to do it alone’.
Maria Montessori
The principal agent is the object itself and not the instruction given by the teacher. It is the child who uses the objects it is the child who is active, and not the teacher.
Maria Montessori
A humankind abandoned in its earlier formative stage becomes its own greatest threat to survival.
Maria Montessori
A child's work is to create the person she/he will become.
Maria Montessori
Free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes.
Maria Montessori
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
Every great cause is born from repeated failures and from imperfect achievements.
Maria Montessori
Since it is through movement that the will realises itself, we should assist a child in his attempts to put his will into act.
Maria Montessori
All human victories, all human progress, stand upon the inner force.
Maria Montessori
The child has other powers than ours, and the creation he achieves is no small one it is everything.
Maria Montessori
