John Dewey
Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.
John Dewey
By object is meant some element in the complex whole that is defined in abstraction from the whole of which it is a distinction.
John Dewey
Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.
John Dewey
Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.
John Dewey
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
John Dewey
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.
John Dewey
Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not.
John Dewey
Luck, bad if not good, will always be with us. But it has a way of favoring the intelligent and showing its back to the stupid.
John Dewey
Man is not logical and his intellectual history is a record of mental reserves and compromises. He hangs on to what he can in his old beliefs even when he is compelled to surrender their logical basis.
John Dewey
Man lives in a world of surmise, of mystery, of uncertainties.
John Dewey
Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.
John Dewey
No man's credit is as good as his money.
John Dewey
One lives with so many bad deeds on one's conscience and some good intentions in one's heart.
John Dewey
Skepticism: the mark and even the pose of the educated mind.
John Dewey
Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning.
John Dewey
The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.
John Dewey
The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better.
John Dewey
The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs.
John Dewey
The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.
John Dewey
