Nobody has a right to speak more clearly than he thinks.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

God is in the world, or nowhere, creating continually in us and around us. Insofar as man partakes of this creative process does he partake of the divine, of God, and that participation is his immortality.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The point about zero is that we do not need to use it in the operation of daily life. No one goes out to buy zero fish.

The merely well-informed man is the most useless bore on God's earth.

Great dreamers' dreams are never fulfilled, they are always transcended.

In the history of the world the prize has not gone to those species which specialized in methods of violence, or even in defensive armor. In fact, nature began with producing animals encased in hard shells for defense against the ill of life. But smaller animals, without external armor, warm-blooded, sensitive, alert, have cleared those monsters off the face of the earth.

A clash of doctrine is not a disaster, it is an opportunity.

The aim of science is to seek...

The aim of science is to seek the simplest explanation of complex facts. We are apt to fall into the error of thinking that the facts are simple because simplicity is the goal of our quest. The guiding motto in the life of every natural philosopher should be ``Seek simplicity and distrust it.''

Intolerance is the besetting sin of moral fervour.

Thus the negative perception is the triumph of consciousness.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Above all things we must be aware of what I will call 'inert ideas' - that is to say, ideas that are merely received into the mind without being utilized, or tested, or thrown into fresh combinations.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

It is more important that a p...

It is more important that a proposition be interesting than that it be true. This statement is almost a tautology. For the energy of operation of a proposition in an occasion of experience is its interest and is its importance. But of course a true proposition is more apt to be interesting than a false one.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Order is not sufficient. What...

Order is not sufficient. What is required, is something much more complex. It is order entering upon novelty; so that the massiveness of order does not degenerate into mere repetition; and so that the novelty is always reflected upon a background of system.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

It does not matter what men s...

It does not matter what men say in words, so long as their activities are controlled by settled instincts. The words may ultimately destroy the instincts; but until this has occurred, words do not count.

The greatest invention of the nineteenth century was the invention of the method of invention.
