Maria Montessori quotes
• To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.
• The child's progress does not depend only on his age, but also on being free to look around.
• Since it is through movement that the will realises itself, we should assist a child in his attempts to put his will into act.
• Only through freedom and environmental experience is it practically possible for human development to occur.
• Character formation cannot be taught. It comes from experience and not from explanation.
• The essential thing is to arouse such an interest that it engages the child's whole personality.
• To aid life, leaving it free, however, to unfold itself, that is the basic task of the educator.
• The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.
• The child should live in an environment of beauty. — Compiled by Masooma Ally Bhai
