More quotes by John Dewey
The intimation never wholly deserts us that there is, in the unformed activities of childhood and youth, the possibilities of a better life for the community as well as for individuals here and there. This dim sense is the ground of our abiding idealization of childhood.
John Dewey
Education is not preparation for life education is life itself.
John Dewey
That which distinguishes the Soviet system both from other national systems and from the progressive schools of other countries is the conscious control of every educational procedure by reference to a single and comprehensive social purpose.
John Dewey
Every subject at some phase of its development should possess, what is for the individual concerned with it, an aesthetic quality.
John Dewey
There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication.
John Dewey
For one man who thanks God that he is not as other men there are a thousand to offer thanks that they are as other men, sufficiently as others are to escape attention.
John Dewey
Creative thinking will improve as we relate the new fact to the old and all facts to each other.
John Dewey
Modern philosophy certainly exacts a surrender of all supernaturalism and fixed dogma and rigid institutionalism with which Christianity has been historically associated
John Dewey
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
Since in reality there is nothing to which growth is relative save more growth, there is nothing to which education is subordinate save more education.
John Dewey
A society with too few independent thinkers is vulnerable to control by disturbed and opportunistic leaders. A society which wants to create and maintain a free and democratic social system must create responsible independence of thought among its young.
John Dewey
Education is life itself.
John Dewey
I do not think that any thorough-going modification of college curriculum would be possible without a modification of the methods of instruction.
John Dewey
An idea is a method of evading, circumventing or surmounting through reflection, obstacles that otherwise would have to be attacked by brute force.
John Dewey
The need for growth, for development, for change, is fundamental to life.
John Dewey
Education as growth or maturity should be an ever-present process.
John Dewey
Schools should take an active part in directing social change, and share in the construction of a new social order
John Dewey
Education is not an affair of 'telling' and being told, but an active and constructive process.
John Dewey
Teaching may be compared to selling commodities. No one can sell unless somebody buys.
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
