Quotes by Dr. Maria Montessori

“The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence,”

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

“Education is the best weapon for peace”

“The child that has to adapt himself to the environment can only adapt to it by copying others. If children did not copy, each man would start a new civilization and there would be no continuity. Human evolution is continuous because small children copy the older ones. The continuity of man is not a result of heredity but of imitation.”
