More quotes by John Dewey
The only way to abolish war is to make peace seem heroic.
John Dewey
It has been petrified into a slavery of thought and sentiment, as intolerant superiority on the part of the few and an intolerable burden on the part of the many.
John Dewey
Mankind likes to think in terms of extreme opposites.
John Dewey
The bare fact that language consists of sounds which are mutually intelligible is enough of itself to show that its meaning depends upon connection with a shared experience.
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
Doctrine that eliminates or even obscures the function of choice of values and enlistment of desires and emotions in behalf of those chosen weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action. It thus helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.
John Dewey
Forty years spent in wandering in a wilderness like that of the present is not a sad fate - unless one attempts to make himself believe that the wilderness is after all itself the promised land.
John Dewey
The educational process has no end beyond itself it is its own end.
John Dewey
No man's credit is as good as his money.
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
Education is not preparation for life education is life itself.
John Dewey
The outstanding problem of the Public is discovery and identification of itself
John Dewey
No system has ever as yet existed which did not in some form involve the exploitation of some human beings for the advantage of others.
John Dewey
The intellectual content of religions has always finally adapted itself to scientific and social conditions after they have become clear.... For this reason I do not think that those who are concerned about the future of a religious attitude should trouble themselves about the conflict of science with traditional doctrines.
John Dewey
If we learn not humility, we learn nothing.
John Dewey
Confidence is directness and courage in meeting the facts of life.
John Dewey
That education is not an affair of telling and being told, but an active and constructive process, is a principle almost as generally violated in practice as conceded in theory. Is not this deplorable situation due to the fact that the doctrine is itself merely told? It is preached it is lectured it is written about.
John Dewey
Continuity of life means continual readaptation of the environment to the needs of living organisms.
John Dewey
most notable distinction between living and inanimate beings is that the former maintain themselves by renewal.
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
