More quotes by John Dewey
Within even the most social group there are many relations that are not as yet social.
John Dewey
The religious is any activity pursued in behalf of an ideal end against obstacles and in spite of threats of personal loss because of its general and enduring value.
John Dewey
Just because life signifies not bare passive existence (supposing there is such a thing), but a way of acting, environment or medium signifies what enters into this activity as a sustaining or frustrating condition.
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
Thought is impossible without words.
John Dewey
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
The educative value of manual activities and of laboratory exercises, as well as of play, depends upon the extent in which they aid in bringing about a sensing of the meaning of what is going on. In effect, if not in name, they are dramatizations.
John Dewey
Teaching may be compared to selling commodities. No one can sell unless somebody buys.
John Dewey
...the moment of passage from disturbance into harmony is that of intensest life.
John Dewey
Knowledge falters when imagination clips its wings or fears to use them.
John Dewey
Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live.
John Dewey
Mind is a verb not a noun.
John Dewey
There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication.
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
The outstanding problem of the Public is discovery and identification of itself
John Dewey
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
John Dewey
Of all affairs, communication is the most wonderful.
John Dewey
If the eye is constantly greeted by harmonious objects, having elegance of form and color, a standard of taste naturally grows up.
John Dewey
The future of religion is connected with the possibility of developing a faith in the possibilities of human experience and human relationships that will create a vital sense of the solidarity of human interests and inspire action to make that sense a reality.
John Dewey
But the individual butterfly or earthquake remains just the unique existence which it is. We forget in explaining its occurrence that it is only the occurrence that is explained, not the thing itself.
John Dewey
