Image
Always make the other person feel important.
John Dewey
Image
When others are not doing what we would like them to or are threatening disobedience, we are most conscious of the need of controlling them and of the influences by which they are controlled.
John Dewey
Image
All communication is like art. It may fairly be said, therefore, that any social arrangement that remains vitally social, or vitally shared, is educative to those who participate in it. Only when it becomes cast in a mold and runs in a routine way does it lose its educative power.
John Dewey
Image
A being connected with other beings cannot perform his own activities without taking the activities of others into account. For they are the indispensable conditions of the realization of his tendencies. When he moves he stirs them and reciprocally.
John Dewey
Image
Experience alone cannot deliver to us necessary truths truths completely demonstrated by reason. Its conclusions are particular, not universal.
John Dewey
Image
As long as art is the beauty parlor of civilization, neither art nor civilization is secure.
John Dewey
Image
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
John Dewey
Image
I should venture to assert that the most pervasive fallacy of philosophic thinking goes back to neglect of context.
John Dewey
Image
Intellectually religious emotions are not creative but conservative. They attach themselves readily to the current view of the world and consecrate it.
John Dewey
Image
Knowledge falters when imagination clips its wings or fears to use them.
John Dewey
Image
Those engaged in directing the actions of others are always in danger of overlooking the importance of the sequential development of those they direct.
John Dewey
Image
If there is one conclusion to which human experience unmistakably points it is that democratic ends demand democratic methods for their realization.
John Dewey
Image
Every living being needs continually renewed, and education is simply the chief process by which renewal occurs.
John Dewey
Image
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
Image
Education as growth or maturity should be an ever-present process.
John Dewey
Image
Things gain meaning by being used in a shared experience or joint action.
John Dewey
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Perhaps the greatest of all pedagogical fallacies is the notion that a person learns only the particular thing he is studying at the time.
John Dewey
Image
Etymologically, the word education means just a process of leading or bringing up.
John Dewey
