Some of the finest moral intui...

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

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

It must be admitted that there...

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

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

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The future belongs to those wh...

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

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

A philosopher of imposing stat...

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

Vedanta is the most impressive...

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

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

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

No Roman ever died in contemplation over a geometrical diagram.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Identification of rhythm as th...

Identification of rhythm as the casual counterpart of life; wherever there is some life, only perceptible to us when the analogies are sufficiently close.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

For successful education there...

For successful education there must always be a certain freshness in the knowledge dealt with. It must be either new in itself or invested with some novelty of application to the new world of new times. Knowledge does not keep any better than fish. You may be dealing with knowledge of the old species, with some old truth; but somehow it must come to the students, as it were, just drawn out of the sea and with the freshness of its immediate importance.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Every intellectual revolution ...

Every intellectual revolution which has ever stirred humanity into greatness has been a passionate protest against inert ideas. Then, alas, with pathetic ignorance of human psychology, it has proceeded by some educational scheme to bind humanity afresh with inert ideas of its own fashioning.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

A man of science doesn't disco...

A man of science doesn't discover in order to know, he wants to know in order to discover.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

There is no more common error ...

There is no more common error than to assume that, because prolonged and accurate mathematical calculations have been made, the application of the result to some fact of nature is absolutely certain.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Thus the negative perception i...

Thus the negative perception is the triumph of consciousness.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

You cannot be wise without som...

You cannot be wise without some basis of knowledge, but you may easily acquire knowledge and remain bare of wisdom.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The foundation of reverence is...

The foundation of reverence is this perception, that the present holds within itself the complete sum of existence, backwards and forwards, that whole amplitude of time, which is eternity.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Life is complex in its express...

Life is complex in its expression, involving more than percipience, namely desire, emotion, will, and feeling.
