Consensus demands communication.

Men have never fully used [their] powers to advance the good in life, because they have waited upon some power external to themselves and to nature to do the work they are responsible for doing.

Cease conceiving of education as mere preparation for later life, and make it the full meaning of the present life.

Everything which bars freedom and fullness of communication sets up barriers that divide human beings into sets and cliques, into antagonistic sects and factions, and thereby undermines the democratic way of life.

That the ulterior significance of every mode of human association lies in the contribution which it makes to the improvement of the quality of experience is a fact most easily recognized in dealing with the immature.

Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.

The need for growth - what we might call immaturity - is not a negative state of being.
