We and God have business with...

We and God have business with each other, and in opening ourselves to God's influence our deepest destiny is fulfilled.

William James 820 quotes

It is very important that teachers should realize the importance of habit.

William James 820 quotes

We have nothing to do but to receive, resting absolutely upon the merit, power, and love of our Redeemer.

Faith branches off the highroad before reason begins

William James 820 quotes

No living person is sunk so l...

No living person is sunk so low as not to be imitated by somebody.

William James 820 quotes

Every time a resolve or a fin...

Every time a resolve or a fine glow of feeling evaporates without bearing practical fruit is worse than a chance lost; it works so as positively to hinder future resolutions and emotions from taking the normal path of discharge.

William James 820 quotes

I am, myself, a very poor vis...

I am, myself, a very poor visualizer and find that I can seldom call to mind even a single letter of the alphabet in purely retinal terms. I must trace the letter by running my mental eye over its contour in order that the image of it shall leave any distinctness at all.

William James 820 quotes

We have grown literally afrai...

We have grown literally afraid to be poor. We despise anyone who elects to be poor in order to simplify and save his inner life. If he does not join the general scramble and pant with the money-making street, we deem him spiritless and lacking in ambition

William James 820 quotes

The lunatic's visions of horror are all drawn from the material of daily fact.

William James 820 quotes

The emotions aren't always immediately subject to reason, but they are always immediately subject to action.

William James 820 quotes

When we of the so-called bett...

When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.

The perfection of rottenness.

In its broadest term, religion says that there is an unseen order, and that our supreme good lies in rightful relations to it.

William James 820 quotes

It is true that so far as wea...

It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. But wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. Elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. There must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.

William James 820 quotes

We do not sing because we are...

We do not sing because we are happy, we are happy because we sing.

William James 820 quotes

Action seems to follow feelin...

Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling.

William James 820 quotes

Social evolution is a resulta...

Social evolution is a resultant of the interaction of two wholly distinct factors: the individual ... bearing all the power of initiative and origination in his hands; and, second, the social environment with its power of adopting or rejecting both him and his gifts. Both factors are essential to change. The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.

William James 820 quotes

There must always be a discre...

There must always be a discrepncy between concepts and reality, because the former are static and discontinuous while the latter is dynamic and flowing

William James 820 quotes

Man is essentially the imitat...

Man is essentially the imitative animal. His whole educabilityand in fact the whole history of civilization depend on this trait, which his strong tendencies to rivalry, jealousy, and acquisitiveness reinforce.

William James 820 quotes

Every sort of energy and endu...

Every sort of energy and endurance, of courage and capacity for handling life's evils, is set free in those who have religious faith.
