Famous quotes by John Dewey:

"We naturally associate democracy, to be sure, with freedom of action, but freedom of action without freed capacity of thought behind it is only chaos"

"School is not preparation for life, but school is life"

"Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination."

"Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving."

"The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action."

"We only think when we are confronted with a problem"

"Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another."

"Education is a social process; education is growth; education is not a preparation for life but is life itself."

"Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living."

"Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself."

"Man is not logical and his intellectual history is a record of mental reserves and compromises. He hangs on to what he can in his old beliefs even when he is compelled to surrender their logical basis."

"Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes."

"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."

"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."

"Time and memory are true artists; they remould reality nearer to the heart's desire."

"By object is meant some element in the complex whole that is defined in abstraction from the whole of which it is a distinction."

"Skepticism: the mark and even the pose of the educated mind."

"The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better."

"We only think when we are confronted with problems."

"The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative."
