Maria Montessori
The hand is the prehensile organ of the mind.
Maria Montessori
When children come into contact with nature, they reveal their strength.

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.

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
Of all things love is the most potent.
Maria Montessori
