"Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living." ― John Dewey Topic(s): Education More From John Dewey "To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness." "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." "Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination." More In Education "I think of it as a good opportunity to let, in particular, school kids know that this job and other interesting jobs in science and engineering are open to anyone who works hard in school and gets a good education and studies math and science. And that it’s not just for a select group of people."― Ellen Ochoa "Ladies and gentlemen: There can be no greater investment in Alabama’s future than an investment in education."― Bob Riley "You need education. You need subsistence protection. We need jobs and social security. These are preconditions under which it will perhaps be possible to deal with these complex circumstances."― Ulrich Beck
