John Dewey
“Art is the most effective mode of communication that exists.”
“Education is a social process; education is growth.”
“Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; the doing must demand thinking and learning naturally results.”
“To find out what one is fitted to do and to secure an opportunity to do it is the key to happiness.”
“The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.”
“We only think when we are confronted with problems.”
“Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.”
“Democracy must be born anew every generation, and education is its midwife.”
“Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.”
“Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.”
“We do not learn from experience... we learn from reflecting on experience.”
“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
