Famous quotes containing the word production:

    “The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “In the production of the necessaries of life Nature is ready enough to assist man.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)
