“Let us give the child a vision of the whole universe. . .
for all things are part of the universe,
and are connected with each other
to form one whole unity.”

 

Maria Montessori

"Many aspects of personality can be tested, and some predictions
can be made, but no one can predict what the destiny of any one
individual will be. The only thing we can do is offer every child
the opportunity to develop according to its own potentialities,
and to acquire new perspectives that will facilitate
exploration and internalization of the cultural world around it.”

 

Maria Montessori

"He learns everything without knowing he is learning
it, and in doing so passes little from
the unconscious to the conscious, treading
always in the path of joy and love.”

 

Maria Montessori

“Education cannot be effective unless
it helps a child open up himself to life.”

 

Maria Montessori

“And so 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.”

 

Maria Montessori

“The most important part of life is not the age of university
studies, but … the period of birth to the age of six.
For that is the time when a man’s intelligence itself,
his greatest implement, is being formed.”
