Every individual existence goes out in a lonely spasm of helpless agony.

Intelligence is a fixed goal with variable means of achieving it.

William James 820 quotes

Philosophy lives in words, but...

Philosophy lives in words, but truth and fact well up into our lives in ways that exceed verbal formulation. There is in the living act of perception always something that glimmers and twinkles and will not be caught, and for which reflection comes too late.

William James 820 quotes

The intellectual life of man c...

The intellectual life of man consists almost wholly in his substitution of conceptual order for the perceptual order in which his experience originally comes.

William James 820 quotes

Out of time we cut 'days' and ...

Out of time we cut 'days' and 'nights', 'summers' and 'winters.' We say what, each part of the sensible continuum is, and all these abstract whats are concepts. The intelletual life of man consists almost wholly in his substitution of a conceptual order for the persceptual order in which his experience originally comes.

William James 820 quotes

To be fertile in hypotheses is...

To be fertile in hypotheses is the first perquisite of creativity and to be willing to throw them away the moment experience contradicts them is the next.

Truth is what will be steadily borne out by subsequent experience

William James 820 quotes

Great indeed is Fear; but it is not, as our military enthusiasts believe and try to make us believe, the only stimulus known for awakening the higher ranges of men's spiritual energy.

William James 820 quotes

Truth happens to an idea. It b...

Truth happens to an idea. It becomes true, is made true by events. Its verity is in fact an event, a process: the process namely of its verifying itself, its veri-fication. Its validity is the process of its valid-ation.

Why may we not be in the universe, as our dogs and cats are in our drawingrooms and libraries?

Once you accept an idea, it's an idea whose time has come.

Men habitually use only a small part of the power which they actually possess.

Faith is one of the forces by which men live, and the total absence of it means collapse

William James 820 quotes

Real culture lives by sympathies and admirations, not by dislikes and disdains; under all misleading wrappings it pounces unerringly upon the human core.

William James 820 quotes

What excites and interests the...

What excites and interests the looker-on at life, what the romances and the statues celebrate, and the grim civic monuments remind us of, is the everlasting battle of the powers of light with those of darkness; with heroism reduced to its bare chance, yet ever and anon snatching victory from the jaws of death.

William James 820 quotes

Every sort of energy and endur...

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

William James 820 quotes

We must make automatic and hab...

We must make automatic and habitual, as early as possible, as many useful actions as we can. . . . The more of the details of our daily life we can hand over to the effortless custody of automatism, the more our higher powers of mind will be set free for their own proper work.
