More quotes by Maria Montessori
Happiness is not the whole aim of education. A man must be independent in his powers and character able to work and assert his mastery over all that depends on him.
Maria Montessori
A great deal of time and intellectual force are lost in the world, because the false seems great and the truth so small and insignificant.
Maria Montessori
What is a scientist?... We give the name scientist to the type of man who has felt experiment to be a means guiding him to search out the deep truth of life, to lift a veil from its fascinating secrets, and who, in this pursuit, has felt arising within him a love for the mysteries of nature, so passionate as to annihilate the thought of himself.
Maria Montessori
Only when the child is able to identify its own center with the center of the universe does education really begin.
Maria Montessori
The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself.
Maria Montessori
Free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes.
Maria Montessori
It is easy to substitute our will for that of the child by means of suggestion or coercion but when we have done this we have robbed him of his greatest right, the right to construct his own personality.
Maria Montessori
Watching a child makes it obvious that the development of his mind comes through his movements.
Maria Montessori
The child is endowed with unknown powers, which can guide us to a radiant future. If what we really want is a new world, then education must take as its aim the development of these hidden possibilities.
Maria Montessori
In nature nothing creates itself and nothing destroys itself.
Maria Montessori
The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.
Maria Montessori
The objects in our system are instead a help to the child himself, he chooses what he wants for his own use, and works with it according to his own needs, tendencies and special interests. In this way, the objects become a means of growth.
Maria Montessori
There is in the child a special kind of sensitivity which leads him to absorb everything about him, and it is this work of observing and absorbing that alone enables him to adapt himself to life
Maria Montessori
The environment itself will teach the child, if every error he makes is manifest to him, without the intervention of a parent of teacher, who should remain a quiet observer of all that happens.
Maria Montessori
Discipline must come through liberty. . . . We do not consider an individual disciplined only when he has been rendered as artificially silent as a mute and as immovable as a paralytic. He is an individual annihilated, not disciplined.
Maria Montessori
There can be no substitute for work, neither affection nor physical well-being can replace it.
Maria Montessori
Never help a child with a task that they feel they can complete themselves.
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
Education demands, then, only this: the utilization of the inner powers of the child for his own instruction.
Maria Montessori
It follows that at the beginning of his life the individual can accomplish wonders without effort and quite unconsciously.
Maria Montessori
