It is the business of future ...

It is the business of future to be dangerous.... The major advances in civilization are processes that all but wreck the societies in which they occur.

The ultimate metaphysical ground is the creative advance into novelty.

In all education the main cause of failure is staleness.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

No science can be more secure...

No science can be more secure than the unconscious metaphysics which tacitly it presupposes.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

What we perceive as the prese...

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

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

From the very beginning of his education, the child should experience the joy of discovery.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

People make the mistake of talking about 'natural laws.' There are no natural laws. There are only temporary habits of nature.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The foundations of the world ...

The foundations of the world are to be found, not in the cognitive experience of conscious thought, but in the aesthetic experience of everyday life.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

It is a profoundly erroneous ...

It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The essence of Christianity i...

The essence of Christianity is the appeal to the life of Christ as a revelation of the nature of God and of God's agency in the world. The record is fragmentary, inconsistent, and uncertain. . . . But there can be no doubt as to what elements in the record have evoked a response from all that is best in human nature. The Mother, the Child, and the bare manger: the lowly man, homeless and self-forgetful, with his message of peace, love, and sympathy: the suffering, the agony, the tender words as life ebbed, the final despair: and the whole with the authority of supreme victory.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Nature gets credit which shou...

Nature gets credit which should in truth be reserved for ourselves: the rose for its scent, the nightingale for its song; and the sun for its radiance. The poets are entirely mistaken. They should address their lyrics to themselves and should turn them into odes of self congratulation on the excellence of the human mind.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The mentality of mankind and ...

The mentality of mankind and the language of mankind created each other. If we like to assume the rise of language as a given fact, then it is not going too far to say that the souls of men are the gift from language to mankind. The account of the sixth day should be written: He gave them speech, and they became souls.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

I consider Christianity to be one of the great disasters of the human race... It would be impossible to imagine anything more un - Christianlike than theology.

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.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Each human being is a more complex structure than any social system to which he belongs.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Science repudiates philosophy...

Science repudiates philosophy. In other words, it has never cared to justify its truth or explain its meaning.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The foundation of reverence i...

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

Familiar things happen, and mankind does not bother about them. It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious.

Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.
