ADDITIONAL QUOTES

INSPIRING QUOTES

 'Human nature has been sold short. Man has a higher nature, just as 'instinctoid' as his lower nature, and this human nature includes the need for meaningful work, for responsibility, for creativeness, for being fair and just, for doing what is worthwhile, and for preferring to do it well'              
Abraham Maslow


'Education must no longer be regarded only as a matter of teaching children, but as a social question of the highest importance, because it is the one question that concerns all mankind. The many other social questions have to do with one group or another of adults, with relatively small numbers of human beings; the social question of the child, however, has to do with all men everywhere'
Maria Montessor



' If formal instruction is introduced too early, too intensely and too abstractly, the children may indeed learn the instructed knowledge and skills, but they may do so at the expense of the disposition to use them'
Lilian Katz

  1. Theresa,
    Your quotes were quite fitting for this week's resources: Lilian Katz, Abraham Maslow and Maria Montessori.
