I should venture to assert that the most pervasive fallacy of philosophic thinking goes back to neglect of context.

Democracy has to be born anew every generation, and education is its midwife.

Every living being needs continually renewed, and education is simply the chief process by which renewal occurs.

Of all affairs, communication is the most wonderful.

The future of religion is connected with the possibility of developing a faith in the possibilities of human experience and human relationships that will create a vital sense of the solidarity of human interests and inspire action to make that sense a reality.

The central problem of an education based upon experience is to select the kind of present experience that live fruitfully and creatively in subsequent experiences.

Resort to military force is a first sure sign that we are giving up the struggle for the democratic way of life, and that the Old World has conquered morally as well as geographically succeeding in imposing upon us its ideals and methods.
