Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns... - John Dewey

"The goal of education is to enable individuals to continue their education."

"Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results."

"For in spite of itself any movement that thinks and acts in terms of an ‘ism becomes so involved in reaction against other ‘isms that it is unwittingly controlled by them. For it then forms its principles by reaction against them instead of by a comprehensive, constructive survey of actual needs, problems, and possibilities."

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

"Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results."
