“Were all instructors to realize that the quality of mental process, not the production of correct answers, is the measure of educative growth something hardly less than a revolution in teaching would be worked.”

“Education is a social process; education is growth; education is not preparation for life but is life itself.”

“The educational process has no end beyond itself; it is its own end.”

“The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alteration of old beliefs. ”

“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”

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

“There is no such thing as educational value in the abstract. The notion that some subjects and methods and that acquaintance with certain facts and truths possess educational value in and of themselves is the reason why traditional education reduced the material of education so largely to a diet of predigested materials.”
