More From Maria Montessori

It's fear of the unknown. the unknown is what it is. and to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that-it's all illusion. unknown is what it is. accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. everything is unknown-then you're ahead of the game. that's what it is. right?

In burma, we need to improve education in the country - not only primary education, but secondary and tertiary education. our education system is very very bad. but, of course, if you look at primary education, we have to think in terms of early childhood development that's going back to before the child is born - making sure the mother is well nourished and the child is properly nurtured.

Aim for the chopping block. if you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. aim past the wood, aim through the wood; aim for the chopping block.

This is education, understood as a help to life; an education from birth, which feeds a peaceful revolution and unites all in a common aim, attracting them as to a single centre. mothers, fathers, politicians: all must combine in their respect and help for this delicate work of formation, which the little child carries on in the depth of a profound psychological mystery, under the tutelage of an inner guide. this is the bright new hope for mankind.

Take for example providing a guide dog for a blind person. that's a good thing to do, right? all right. it is a good thing to do. but you have to think what else you could do with the resources. it costs about $40,000 to train a guide dog and train the recipient so that the guide dog can be an effective help to a blind person. it costs somewhere between 20 and $50 to cure a blind person in a developing country if they have trachoma. so you do the sums, and you could provide one guide dog for one blind american or you could cure between 400 and 2,000 people of blindness.

Imagine hidden in a simpler exterior a secret receptacle wherein the most precious treasure is deposited - there is a spring which has to be pressed, but the spring is hidden, and the pressure must have a certain strength, so that an accidental pressure would not be sufficient. so likewise is the hope of eternity hidden in man's inmost parts, and affliction is the pressure. when it presses the hidden spring, and strongly enough, then the contents appear in all their glory.

For in spite of the snapdragons and the duty millers and the cherry blossoms, it was always winter.
Spring Winter March
Desire, when it stems from the heart and spirit, when it is pure and intense, possesses awesome electromagnetic energy. this energy is released into the ether each night, as the mind falls into the sleep state. each morning it returns to the conscious state reinforced with the cosmic currents. that which has been imaged will surely and certainly be manifested. you can rely, young man, upon this ageless promise as surely as you can rely upon the eternally unbroken promise of sunrise... and of spring.

What is your substance, whereof are you made, that millions of strange shadows on you tend? since everyone hath every one, one shade, and you, but one, can every shadow lend. describe adonis, and the counterfeit is poorly imitated after you. on helen’s cheek all art of beauty set, and you in grecian tires are painted new. speak of the spring and foison of the year; the one doth shadow of your beauty show, the other as your bounty doth appear, and you in every blessèd shape we know. in all external grace you have some part, but you like none, none you, for constant heart.
