“Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.”
― Maria Montessori

“المشكلة ليست فى الصعوبات ، فلكل مرحلة صعوباتها وتعقيداتها ، وأيضاً ضحاياها ، ولكن المشكلة كما أرى ، هى فى انعدام اليقين ، فى الهزيمة الداخلية التى نعيشها مما يجعل الكثيرين حائرين ثم يائسين”
― عبد الرحمن منيف, الآن هنا.. أو شرق المتوسط مرة أخرى

“We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.”
― Maria Montessori

“Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.”
― Maria Montessori
