More quotes by John Dewey
Always make the other person feel important.
John Dewey
Democracy has to be born anew every generation, and education is its midwife.
John Dewey
I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform.
John Dewey
As long as art is the beauty parlor of civilization, neither art nor civilization is secure.
John Dewey
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
The only way to abolish war is to make peace seem heroic.
John Dewey
Change as change is mere flux and lapse it insults intelligence. Genuinely to know is to grasp a permanent end that realizes itself through changes.
John Dewey
I believe that in this way the teacher always is the prophet of the true God and the usherer in of the true kingdom of God.
John Dewey
There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication.
John Dewey
Of what use, educationally speaking, is it to be able to see the end in the beginning?
John Dewey
As we have seen there is some kind of continuity in any case since every experience affects for better or worse the attitudes which help decide the quality of further experiences, by setting up certain preference and aversion, and making it easier or harder to act for this or that end.
John Dewey
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
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
Continuity of life means continual readaptation of the environment to the needs of living organisms.
John Dewey
Society exists through a process of transmission quite as much as biological life. This transmission occurs by means of communication of habits of doing, thinking, and feeling from the older to the younger.
John Dewey
By doing his share in the associated activity, the individual appropriates the purpose which actuates it, becomes familiar with its methods and subject matters, acquires needed skill, and is saturated with its emotional spirit.
John Dewey
A child may have to be snatched with roughness away from a fire so that he shall not be burnt.
John Dewey
Teaching may be compared to selling commodities. No one can sell unless somebody buys.
John Dewey
Scientific principles and laws do not lie on the surface of nature. They are hidden, and must be wrested from nature by an active and elaborate technique of inquiry.
John Dewey
An education could be given which would sift individuals, discovering what they were good for, and supplying a method of assigning each to the work in life for which his nature fits him.
John Dewey
