The devotion of democracy to education is a familiar fact. . . . [A] government resting upon popular suffrage cannot be successful unless those who elect . . . their governors are educated. (John Dewey Quotes)
Experience, in short, is not a combination of mind and world, subject and object, method and subject matter, but is a single continuous interaction of a great diversity (literally countless in number) of energies. (John Dewey Quotes)
We cannot set up, out of our heads, something we regard as an ideal society (John Dewey Quotes)
The reactionaries are in possession of force, in not only the army and police, but in the press and the schools (John Dewey Quotes)
A democracy is more than a form of government; it is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience (John Dewey Quotes)
When men think and believe in one set of symbols and act in ways which are contrary to their professed and conscious ideas, confusion and insincerity are bound to result (John Dewey Quotes)
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes. Genuine ignorance is profitable because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open mindedness; whereas ability to repeat catch phrases, cant terms, familiar propositions, gives the conceit of learning and coats the mind with varnish waterproof to new ideas (John Dewey Quotes)
The religious is any activity pursued in behalf of an ideal end against obstacles and in spite of threats of personal loss because of its general and enduring value (John Dewey Quotes)
Old ideas give way slowly; for they are more than abstract logical forms and categories, they are habits, predispositions, deeply ingrained attitudes of diversion and preference (John Dewey Quotes)
In laying hands upon the sacred ark of absolute permanency, in treating the forms that had been regarded as types of fixity and perfection as originating and passing away, the Origin of Species introduced a mode of thinking that in the end was bound to transform the logic of knowledge, and hence the treatment of morals, politics, and religion (John Dewey Quotes)
Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself (John Dewey Quotes)
A person who is trained to consider his actions, to undertake them deliberately, is in so far forth disciplined. Add to this ability a power to endure in an intelligently chosen course in the face of distraction, confusion, and difficulty, and you have the essence of discipline (John Dewey Quotes)
There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication. Try the experiment of communicating, with fullness and accuracy, some experience to another, especially if it be somewhat complicated, and you will find your own attitude toward your experience changing (John Dewey Quotes)
Complete adaptation to environment means death. The essential point in all response is the desire to control environment (John Dewey Quotes)
Modern life means democracy, democracy means freeing intelligence for independent effectiveness the emancipation of mind as an individual organ to do its own work. We naturally associate democracy, to be sure, with freedom of action, but freedom of action without freed capacity of thought behind it is only chaos (John Dewey Quotes)
The end justifies the means only when the means used are such as actually bring about the desired and desirable end (John Dewey Quotes)
Intellectually, religious emotions are not creative but conservative. They attach themselves readily to the current view of the world and consecrate it (John Dewey Quotes)
Old ideas give way slowly; for they are more than abstract logical forms and categories. They are habits, predispositions, deeply ingrained attitudes of aversion and preference (John Dewey Quotes)
The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative (John Dewey Quotes)
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 Quotes)
To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness (John Dewey Quotes)
One lives with so many bad deeds on one's conscience and some good intentions in one's heart (John Dewey Quotes)
The self is not something ready made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action (John Dewey Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes (John Dewey Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home (John Dewey Quotes)
There is no discipline in the world so severe as the discipline of experience subjected to the tests of intelligent development and direction (John Dewey Quotes)
Our historic imagination is at best slightly developed. We generalise and idealise the past egregiously. We set up little toys to stand as symbols for centuries and the complicated lives of countless individuals (John Dewey Quotes)
Every thinker puts some portion of an apparently stable world in peril and no one can wholly predict what will emerge in its place (John Dewey Quotes)
