There exists, then, the "spirit" of the scientist...

"There exists, then, the "spirit" of the scientist, a thing far above his mere "mechanical skill," and the scientist is at the height of his achievement when the spirit has triumphed over the mechanism.  When he has reached this point, science will receive from him not only new revelations of nature, but philosophic syntheses of pure thought."  Maria Montessori, The Montessori Method, Chapter 1, p.9, Schocken Books, Inc., 1964.

“The only language that man learns perfectly is acquired at this period of childhood when no one can teach him.   Not only that, but no matter what help and assistance he will get later in life if he tries to learn a new language, he will not be able to speak it with the same exactitude as he does the one acquired in childhood.”   Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind, The Theosophical Publishing House, Madras, India, 1949, p. 5
