More quotes by Maria Montessori
If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?
Maria Montessori
When dealing with children there is greater need for observing than of probing
Maria Montessori
The child will reveal himself through work.
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
The instructions of the teacher consist then merely in a hint, a touch-enough to give a start to the child. The rest develops of itself.
Maria Montessori
Growth comes from activity, not from intellectual understanding.
Maria Montessori
Do not offer the child the content of the mind, but the order for that content.
Maria Montessori
No one can be free unless he is independent.
Maria Montessori
At birth, the child leaves a person - his mother's womb - and this makes him independent of her bodily functions. The baby is next endowed with an urge, or need, to face the out world and to absorb it. We might say that he is born with 'the psychology of world conquest.' By absorbing what he finds about him, he forms his own personality.
Maria Montessori
The development of the mind comes through movement
Maria Montessori
The first idea that the child must acquire, in order to be actively disciplined, is that of the difference between good and evil.
Maria Montessori
The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.
Maria Montessori
Adults have not understood children or adolescents and they are, as a consequence, in continual conflict with them.
Maria Montessori
Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.
Maria Montessori
Never help a child with a task that they feel they can complete themselves.
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
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
Nothing is created or destroyed in nature.
Maria Montessori
It is almost possible to say that there is a mathematical relationship between the beauty of his surroundings and the activity of the child he will make discoveries rather more voluntarily in a gracious setting than in an ugly one.
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
