John Dewey
Image
The distinguishing sign of slavery is to have a price, and to be bought for it.
John Ruskin

John Dewey

I believe that the first test of a great man is his humility. I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power.

Ernst Gombrich

Without initiation into the scientific spirit one is not in possession of the best tools which humanity has so far devised for effectively directed reflection. One in that case not merely conducts inquiry and learning without the use of the best instruments, but fails to understand the full meaning of knowledge.
John Dewey

If you consider only utility, the things you build will soon be useless... nobody wants to be in it.
Roger Scruton
Image
The unconscious is the discourse of the Other.
Jacques Lacan
Image
The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things — not merely industrious, but to love industry — not merely learned, but to love knowledge — not merely pure, but to love purity — not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.
John Ruskin
Image
Every living being needs continually renewed, and education is simply the chief process by which renewal occurs.
John Dewey
Image
Pleasure comes through toil, and not by self indulgence and indolence. When one gets to love work, his life is a happy one.
John Ruskin
Image
A nation which lives a pastoral and innocent life never decorates the shepherd's staff or the plough-handle but races who live by depredation and slaughter nearly always bestow exquisite ornaments on the quiver, the helmet, and the spear.
John Ruskin
Image
Give an earnest-hearted, devoted girl any true work that will make her active in the dawn, and weary at night, with the consciousness that her fellow-creatures have indeed been the better for her day, and the powerless sorrow of her enthusiasm will transform itself into a majesty of radiant and beneficent peace.
John Ruskin
Image
