Quotes by Maria Montessori

The following are quotes from Maria Montessori:

Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.

The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity.

The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer the activity must lie in the phenomenon.

We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.
