Schools are, indeed, one important method of the transmission which forms the dispositions of the immature; but it is only one means, and, compared with other agencies, a relatively superficial means. Only as we have grasped the necessity of more fundamental and persistent modes of tuition can we make sure of placing the scholastic methods in their true context.

All education which develops power to share effectively in social life is moral.

Everything depends on the quality of the experience which is had.

The most important attitude that can be formed is that of desire to go on learning.

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

Purposeful action is thus the goal of all that is truly educative.

To be a recipient of a communication is to have an enlarged and changed experience.
