THE END

The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better. Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns just as much from his failures as from his successes Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning. Not perfection as a final goal, but the ever-enduring process of perfecting, maturing, refining is the aim of living.

We only think when we are confronted with problems.

The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.

A possibility of continuing progress is opened up by the fact that in learning one act, methods are developed good for use in other situations. Still more important is the fact that the human being acquires a habit of learning. He learns to learn. Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself The aim of education is to enable individuals to continue their education ... (and) the object and reward of learning is continued capacity for growth. Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results.
