If an educational act is to b...

If an educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of arbitrary tasks.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

There can be no 'graduated ex...

There can be no 'graduated exercises in drawing' leading up to an artistic creation. That goal can be attained only through the development of mechanical technique and through the freedom of the spirit.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

All the movements of our body...

All the movements of our body are not merely those dictated by impulse or weariness; they are the correct expression of what we consider decorous. Without impulses, we could take no part in social life; on the other hand, without inhibitions, we could not correct, direct, and utilize our impulses.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

The consciousness of knowing ...

The consciousness of knowing how to make oneself useful, how to help mankind in many ways, fills the soul with noble confidence, almost religious dignity.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

Man is capable of every great...

Man is capable of every great heroism; it was man who found a means of conquering the formidable obstacles of his environment, establishing himself lord of the earth, and laying the foundations of civilization.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

We recommend for the training...

We recommend for the training of teachers not only a considerable artistic education in general but special attention to the art of reading.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

It would be so simple to allow children, when tired of sitting, to rise, and when tired of writing, to desist, and then their bones would not be twisted.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

Speech is one of the marvels ...

Speech is one of the marvels that characterize man, and also one of the most difficult spontaneous creations that have been accomplished by nature.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

I have for many years interested myself in the study of children from three years upwards. Many have urged me to continue my studies on the same lines with older children. But what I have felt to be most vital is the need for more careful and particularized study of the tiny child.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

If the ways of the Almighty a...

If the ways of the Almighty are not humanly logical, it is not the fault of the Almighty but of the limitations of human logic.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

The respect and protection of...

The respect and protection of woman and of maternity should be raised to the position of an inalienable social duty and should become one of the principles of human morality.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

There are two 'faiths' which ...

There are two 'faiths' which can uphold humans: faith in God and faith in oneself. And these two faiths should exist side by side: the first belongs to one's inner life, the second to one's life in society.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

Woman was always the custodia...

Woman was always the custodian of human sentiment, morality and honour, and in these respects, man always has yielded woman the palm.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

Now, what really makes a teac...

Now, what really makes a teacher is love for the human child; for it is love that transforms the social duty of the educator into the higher consciousness of a mission.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

Noble ideas, great sentiments...

Noble ideas, great sentiments have always existed and have always been transmitted, but wars have never ceased.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

It is not true that I invente...

It is not true that I invented what is called the Montessori Method... I have studied the child; I have taken what the child has given me and expressed it, and that is what is called the Montessori Method.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

The selfsame procedure which ...

The selfsame procedure which zoology, a branch of the natural sciences, applies to the study of animals, anthropology must apply to the study of man; and by doing so, it enrolls itself as a science in the field of nature.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

If the whole of mankind is to...

If the whole of mankind is to be united into one brotherhood, all obstacles must be removed so that men, all over the surface of the globe, should be as children playing in a garden.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

Temptation, if it is not to c...

Temptation, if it is not to conquer, must not fall like a bomb against another bomb of instantaneous moral explosions, but against the strong walls of an impregnable fortress strongly built up, stone by stone, beginning at that distant day when the foundations were first laid.

Maria Montessori 341 quotes

Books are mute as far as soun...

Books are mute as far as sound is concerned. It follows that reading aloud is a combination of two distinct operations, of two 'languages.' It is something far more complex than speaking and reading taken separately by themselves.
