Quote by Erich Fromm

The successful revolutionary is a statesman, the unsuccessful one a criminal.

The successful revolutionary is a statesman, the unsuccessfu

Summary

This quote implies that the perception and judgment of a revolutionary depend on the outcome of their actions. If a revolution is successful in bringing about positive change and long-lasting stability, the instigator will be viewed as a statesman - someone who effectively governs and leads. However, if the revolution fails to achieve its intended goals or leads to chaos and harmful consequences, the instigator is labeled a criminal - someone who has violated the law and disrupted societal order. Ultimately, the success or failure of a revolution determines the perception of its leader, whether they are praised as a visionary or condemned as a lawbreaker.

I would teach how science works as much as I would teach what science knows. I would assert (given that essentially, everyone will learn to read) that science literacy is the most important kind of literacy they can take into the 21st century. I would undervalue grades based on knowing things and find ways to reward curiosity. In the end, it's the people who are curious who change the world.
