It is not true that I invented what is called the Montessori Method... 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.

The child who concentrates is immensely happy.

The greatest development is achieved during the first years of life, and therefore it is then that the greatest care should be taken. If this is done, then the child does not become a burden; he will reveal himself as the greatest marvel of nature.

One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.

Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.

When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education.
