More quotes by John Dewey
Communication of science as subject-matter has so far outrun in education the construction of a scientific habit of mind that to some extent the natural common sense of mankind has been interfered with to its detriment.
John Dewey
The school must be a genuine form of active community life, instead of a place set apart in which to learn lessons.
John Dewey
Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning.
John Dewey
Human nature exists and operates in an environment. And it is not 'in' that environment as coins are in a box, but as a plant is in the sunlight and soil.
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

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
No man's credit is as good as his money.
John Dewey

John Dewey
Mind is a verb not a noun.
John Dewey

John Dewey
The end justifies the means only when the means used are such as actually bring about the desired and desirable end.
John Dewey
Intelligence is in constant process of forming, and its retention requires constant alertness in observing consequences, an open-minded will to learn, and courage in readjustment.
John Dewey
Art is not the possession of the few who are recognized writers, painters, musicians it is the authentic expression of any and all individuality.
John Dewey
Luck, bad if not good, will always be with us. But it has a way of favoring the intelligent and showing its back to the stupid.
John Dewey
How can the child learn to be a free and responsible citizen when the teacher is bound?
John Dewey
The conception of education as a social process and function has no definite meaning until we define the kind of society we have in mind.
John Dewey
It requires troublesome work to undertake the alteration of old beliefs.
John Dewey
There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication.
John Dewey
As a society becomes more enlightened, it realizes that it is responsible not to transmit and conserve the whole of its existing achievements, but only such as make for a better future society. The school is its chief agency for the accomplishment of this end.
John Dewey
