More quotes by John Dewey

"a problem well put is half solved."
"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."
"Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes."
"To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness."
"Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself."
