We cannot create observers by saying 'observe', but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses.
Maria Montessori
One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.
Maria Montessori
The child is not an empty being who owes whatever he knows to us who have filled him up with it. No, the child is the builder of man. There is no man existing who has not been formed by the child he once was.
Maria Montessori
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
To confer the gift of drawing, we must create an eye that sees, a hand that obeys, a soul that feels; and in this task, the whole life must cooperate. In this sense, life itself is the only preparation for drawing. Once we have lived, the inner spark of vision does the rest.
Maria Montessori
We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.
