The greatest enemy of any one ...

The greatest enemy of any one of our truths may be the rest of our truths.

William James 820 quotes

The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.

William James 820 quotes

The ideas gained by men before...

The ideas gained by men before they are twenty-five are practically the only ideas they shall have in their lives.

William James 820 quotes

Time itself comes in drops....

Time itself comes in drops.

William James 820 quotes

To be a real philosopher all t...

To be a real philosopher all that is necessary is to hate some one else's type of thinking.

William James 820 quotes

What every genuine philosopher...

What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) craves most is praise although the philosophers generally call it recognition!

William James 820 quotes

The sway of alcohol over manki...

The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour.

William James 820 quotes

One hearty laugh together will...

One hearty laugh together will bring enemies into a closer communion of heart than hours spent on both sides in inward wrestling with the mental demon of uncharitable feeling.

William James 820 quotes

Our normal waking consciousnes...

Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.

William James 820 quotes

Do something everyday for no o...

Do something everyday for no other reason than you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test.

William James 820 quotes

The hell to be endured hereaft...

The hell to be endured hereafter, of which theology tells, is no worse than the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually fashioned our characters in the wrong way.

William James 820 quotes

Our errors are surely not such...

Our errors are surely not such awfully solemn things. In a world where we are so certain to incur them in spite of all our caution, a certain lightness of heart seems healthier than this excessive nervousness on their behalf.

William James 820 quotes

Truth lives, in fact, for the ...

Truth lives, in fact, for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs pass, so long as nothing challenges them, just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.

William James 820 quotes

Could the young but realize how soon they will become mere walking bundles of habits, they would give more heed to their conduct while in the plastic state.

William James 820 quotes

There must be something solemn...

There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse.

William James 820 quotes

No matter how full a reservoir...

No matter how full a reservoir of maxims one may possess, and no matter how good one's sentiments may be, if one has not taken advantage of every concrete opportunity to act, one's character may remain entirely unaffected for the better.

William James 820 quotes

'Pure experience' is the name ...

'Pure experience' is the name I gave to the immediate flux of life which furnishes the material to our later reflection with its conceptual categories.

William James 820 quotes

Individuality is founded in fe...

Individuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.

William James 820 quotes

To be radical, an empiricism m...

To be radical, an empiricism must neither admit into its constructions any element that is not directly experienced, nor exclude from them any element that is directly experienced.

William James 820 quotes

Whatever universe a professor ...

Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!
