Text Quotes
Popular psychology is a mass of cant, of slush and of superstition worthy of the most flourishing days of the medicine man  (John Dewey Quotes) Legislation is a matter of more or less intelligent improvisation aiming at palliating conditions by means of patchwork policies  (John Dewey Quotes) What’s in a question, you ask? Everything. It is evoking stimulating response or stultifying inquiry. It is, in essence, the very core of teaching  (John Dewey Quotes) The demand for liberty is a demand for power, either for possession of powers of action not already possessed or for retention and expansion of powers already possessed  (John Dewey Quotes) It has been petrified into a slavery of thought and sentiment, as intolerant superiority on the part of the few and an intolerable burden on the part of the many  (John Dewey Quotes) There is nothing left worth preserving in the notions of unseen powers, controlling human destiny, to which obedience and worship are due  (John Dewey Quotes) Traveling is a constant arriving, while arrival that precludes further traveling is most easily attained by going to sleep or dying  (John Dewey Quotes) The method of democracy is to bring conflicts out into the open where their special claims can be seen and appraised, where they can be discussed and judged  (John Dewey Quotes) The teacher loses the position of external boss or dictator but takes on that of leader of group activities  (John Dewey Quotes) Experience alone cannot deliver to us necessary truths; truths completely demonstrated by reason. Its conclusions are particular, not universal  (John Dewey Quotes) I should venture to assert that the most pervasive fallacy of philosophic thinking goes back to neglect of context  (John Dewey Quotes) Since there is no single set of abilities running throughout human nature, there is no single curriculum which all should undergo. Rather, the schools should teach everything that anyone is interested in learning  (John Dewey Quotes) I believe that in the ideal school we have the reconciliation of the individualistic and the institutional ideals  (John Dewey Quotes) Since a democratic society repudiates the principle of external authority, it must find a substitute in voluntary disposition and interest; these can be created only by education  (John Dewey Quotes) Of what use, educationally speaking, is it to be able to see the end in the beginning?  (John Dewey Quotes) Cease conceiving of education as mere preparation for later life, and make it the full meaning of the present life  (John Dewey Quotes) Faith in the possibilities of continued and rigorous inquiry does not limit access to truth to any channel or scheme of things. It does not first say that truth is universal and then add there is but one road to it  (John Dewey Quotes) We always live at the time we live and not at some other time, and only by extracting at each present time the full meaning of each present experience are we prepared for doing the same thing in the future  (John Dewey Quotes) There’s all the difference in the world between having something to say, and having to say something  (John Dewey Quotes) Were all instructors to realize that the quality of mental process, not the production of correct answers, is the measure of educative growth something hardly less than a revolution in teaching would be worked  (John Dewey Quotes) Like the soil, mind is fertilized while it lies fallow, until a new burst of bloom ensues  (John Dewey Quotes) Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results  (John Dewey Quotes) The most important attitude that can be formed is that of desire to go on learning  (John Dewey Quotes) If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow  (John Dewey Quotes) What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child, that that must community want for all it’s children  (John Dewey Quotes) The ultimate aim of production is not production of goods but the production of free human beings associated with one another on terms of equality  (John Dewey Quotes) Any genuine teaching will result, if successful, in someone’s knowing how to bring about a better condition of things than existed earlier  (John Dewey Quotes) Teachers are the agents through which knowledge and skills are communicated and rules of conduct enforced  (John Dewey Quotes) Nature as a whole is a progressive realization of purpose strictly comparable to the realization of purpose in any single plant or animal  (John Dewey Quotes) Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living. Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live. Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself  (John Dewey Quotes)
