No reason can be given for the nature of God, because that nature is the ground of rationality.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The progress of Science consi...

The progress of Science consists in observing interconnections and in showing with a patient ingenuity that the events of this ever-shifting world are but examples of a few general relations, called laws. To see what is general in what is particular, and what is permanent in what is transitory, is the aim of scientific thought.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Human nature loses its most p...

Human nature loses its most precious quality when it is robbed of its sense of things beyond, unexplored and yet insistent.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Religion is the vision of som...

Religion is the vision of something which stands beyond, behind, and within, the passing flux of immediate things; something which is real, and yet waiting to be realised; something which is a remote possibility, and yet the greatest of present facts; something that gives meaning to all that passes, and yet eludes apprehension; something whose possession is the final good, and yet is beyond all reach; something which is the ultimate ideal, and the hopeless quest.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Our rate of progress is such ...

Our rate of progress is such that an individual human being, of ordinary length of life, will be called on to face novel situations which find no parallel in his past. The fixed person, for the fixed duties, who, in older societies was such a godsend, in the future will be a public danger.

Inventive genius requires pleasurable mental activity as a condition for its vigorous exercise

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Peace is self-control at its ...

Peace is self-control at its widest-at the width where the "self" has been lost, and interest has been transferred to coordinations wider than personality.

One main factor in the upward trend of animal life has been the power of wandering.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

What we perceive as the present is the vivid fringe of memory tinged with anticipation.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

In a sense, knowledge shrinks ...

In a sense, knowledge shrinks as wisdom grows, for details are swallowed up in principles. The details for knowledge which are important, will be picked up ad hoc in each avocation of life, but the habit of the active utilization of well-understood principles is the final possession of WISDOM.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The real history does not get ...

The real history does not get written, because it is not in people's brains but in their nerves and vitals.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Vedanta is the most impressive metaphysics the human mind has conceived.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

A philosopher of imposing stature doesn't think in a vacuum. Even his most abstract ideas are, to some extent, conditioned by what is or is not known in the time when he lives.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

With the sense of sight, the i...

With the sense of sight, the idea communicates the emotion, whereas, with sound, the emotion communicates the idea, which is more direct and therefore more powerful.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The future belongs to those who can rise above the confines of the earth.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Religion will not regain its old power until it can face change in the same spirit as does science.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

It must be admitted that there is a degree of instability which is inconsistent with civilization. But, on the whole, the great ages have been unstable ages.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Systems, scientific or philoso...

Systems, scientific or philosophic, come and go. Each method of limited understanding is at length exhausted. In its prime each system is a triumphant success: in its decay it is an obstructive nuisance.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Some of the finest moral intuitions come to quite humble people. The visiting of lofty ideas doesn't depend on formal schooling.

There is no nature at an instant.
