More quotes by John Dewey

"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."
"As we have seen there is some kind of continuity in any case since every experience affects for better or worse the attitudes which help decide the quality of further experiences, by setting up certain preference and aversion, and making it easier or harder to act for this or that end."
"The goal of education is to enable individuals to continue their education."
"Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself."
"Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes."
