More quotes by Maria Montessori
The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.
Maria Montessori
To let the child do as he likes when he has not yet developed any powers of control is to betray the idea of freedom.
Maria Montessori
Education, as conceived today, is something separated both from biological and social life.
Maria Montessori
Watching a child makes it obvious that the development of his mind comes through his movements.
Maria Montessori
Within the child lies the fate of the future.
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

Maria Montessori
The child has other powers than ours, and the creation he achieves is no small one it is everything.
Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori
The unknown energy that can help humanity is that which lies hidden in the child.
Maria Montessori
A child's character develops in accordance with the obstacles he has encountered... or the freedom favoring his development that he has enjoyed.
Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori
Joy is the evidence of inner growth.
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
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
There are many things which no teacher can convey to a child of three, but a child of five can do it with ease.
Maria Montessori
Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.
Maria Montessori
