Home Quotes & Sayings John William Gardner Quotes (About Education, Failure, Learning, Life, Obstacles)

John William Gardner Quotes: We pay a heavy price for our…

We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. It is a powerful obstacle to growth. It assures the progressive narrowing of the personality and prevents exploration and experimentation. There is no learning without some difficulty and fumbling. If you want to keep on learning, you must keep on risking failure all your life.

More Quotes from John William Gardner:

But if we believe what we profess concerning the worth of the individual, then the idea of individual development within a framework of ethical purpose must become our deepest concern, our national preoccupation, our passion, our obsession. We must think of education as relevant for everyone everywhere at all ages and in all conditions of life.
John William Gardner

Creativity requires the freedom to consider unthinkable alternatives, to doubt the worth of cherished practices.

Mastery is not something that strikes in an instant, like a thunderbolt, but a gathering power that moves steadily through time, like weather.
John William Gardner

Some people seem to believe that for each problem there is a solution readily available a solution that can be promptly achieved by passing a law and voting some money. I think of this as the vending machine concept of social change. Put a coin in the machine and out comes a piece of candy. If there is a social problem, pass a law and out comes a solution.
