The real process of education should be the process of learning to think through the application of real problems.

John Dewey

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

John Dewey

Things gain meaning by being used in a shared experience or joint action.

John Dewey

Thought is impossible without words.

John Dewey

We always live at the time we live and not at some other time, and only by extracting at each present time the full meaning of each present experience are we prepared for doing the same thing in the future.

John Dewey

We can have facts without thinking but we cannot have thinking without facts.

John Dewey

What accumulated knowledge exists in low grade societies is at least put into practice; it is transmuted into character; it exists with the depth of meaning that attaches to its coming within urgent daily interests.

John Dewey

Where there is giving there must be taking.
