The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist." But this holds true for leader… - Maria Montessori

If help and salvation are to come they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men. The child is endowed with unknown powers, which can guide us to a radiant future. If what we really want is a new world, then education must take as its aim the development of these hidden possibilities.

The task of the educator of young children lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility, and evil with activity.

We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master. We then become witnesses to the development of the human soul; the emergence of the New Man who will no longer be the victim of events but, thanks to his clarity of vision, will become able to direct and to mold the future of mankind.
