John Dewey

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

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

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

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

"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."

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