Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.
From John Dewey
Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.
Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not.
Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.
Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.
To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.
The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better.
The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.
The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs.
