More quotes by Maria Montessori
Freedom in intellectual work is found to be the basis of internal discipline.
Maria Montessori
When dealing with children there is greater need for observing than of probing
Maria Montessori
The child who has felt a strong love for his surroundings and for all living creatures, who has discovered joy and enthusiasm in work, gives us reason to hope that humanity can develop in a new direction.
Maria Montessori
It is exactly in the repetition of the exercises that the education of the senses exists not that the child shall know colors, forms or qualities, but that he refine his senses through an exercise of attention, comparison and judgment.
Maria Montessori
Any child who is self-sufficient, who can tie his shoes, dress or undress himself, reflects in his joy and sense of achievement the image of human dignity which is derived from a sense of independence.
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
Within the child lies the fate of the future. Whoever wishes to confer some benefit on society must preserve him from deviations and observe his natural ways of acting. A child is mysterious and powerful and contains within himself the secret of human nature.
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
The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.
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
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
The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.
Maria Montessori
Human dignity ... is derived from a sense of independence.
Maria Montessori
Bring the child to the consciousness of his own dignity, and he will be free. We see no limit to what should be offered to the child, for his will be an immense field of chosen activity.
Maria Montessori
In nature nothing creates itself and nothing destroys itself.
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
The child is an enigma… He has the highest potentialities, but we do not know what he will be.
Maria Montessori
It is not the child as a physical but as a psychic being that can provide a strong impetus to the betterment of mankind. It is the spirit of the child that can determine the course of human progress and lead it perhaps even to a higher form of civilization.
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
