We must therefore turn to the child as to the key to the fate of our future life.
A child is a discoverer. He is an amorphous, splendid being in search of his own proper form.
The child will reveal himself through work.

Great tact and delicacy is necessary for the care of the mind of a child from three to six years, and an adult can have very little of it.
I have studied the child. I have taken what the child has given me and expressed it and that is what is called the Montessori method.
