The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!
Maria MontessoriThe child, making use of all that he finds around him, shapes himself for the future.
Maria MontessoriIf we try to think back to the dim and distant past... what is it that helps us reconstruct those times, and to picture the lives of those who lived in them? It is their art... It is thanks to the hand, the companion of the mind, that civilization has arisen.
Maria MontessoriLet the children be free; encourage them; let them run outside when it is raining; let them remove their shoes when they find a puddle of water; and when the grass of the meadows is wet with dew, let them run on it and trample it with their bare feet; let them rest peacefully when a tree invites them to sleep beneath its shade; let them shout and laugh when the sun wakes them in the morning.
