How to gain, how to keep, how ...

How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness is in fact for most men at all times the secret motive of all they do, and of all they are willing to endure.

William James 820 quotes

It is only by risking our pers...

It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true.

William James 820 quotes

The god whom science recognize...

The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals.

William James 820 quotes

How pleasant is the day when w...

How pleasant is the day when we give up striving to be young-or slender.

William James 820 quotes

As the brain changes are conti...

As the brain changes are continuous, so do all these consciousnesses melt into each other like dissolving views. Properly they are but one protracted consciousness, one unbroken stream.

William James 820 quotes

No living person is sunk so lo...

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

William James 820 quotes

The perfection of rottenness....

The perfection of rottenness.

William James 820 quotes

How many of us persist in a pr...

How many of us persist in a precipitate course which, but for a moment of heedlessness we might never have entered upon, simply because we hate to change our minds.

William James 820 quotes

Whilst part of what we perceiv...

Whilst part of what we perceive comes through our senses from the object before us, another part (and it may be the larger part) always comes out of our own mind.

William James 820 quotes

Science, like life, feeds on i...

Science, like life, feeds on its own decay. New facts burst old rules; then newly divined conceptions bind old and new together into a reconciling law.

William James 820 quotes

There are no differences but d...

There are no differences but differences of degree between different degrees of difference and no difference.

William James 820 quotes

I am no lover of disorder and doubt as such. Rather I fear to lose truth by the pretension to possess it already wholly.

William James 820 quotes

Contemporary philosophers, eve...

Contemporary philosophers, even the rationalistic minded ones, have on the whole agreed that no one has intelligibly banished the mystery of fact.

William James 820 quotes

Pretend what we may, the whole...

Pretend what we may, the whole man within us is at work when we form our philosophical opinions.

William James 820 quotes

Philosophy is at once the most...

Philosophy is at once the most sublime and the most trivial of human pursuits.

William James 820 quotes

There is a law in psychology that if you form a picture in your mind of what you would like to be, and you keep and hold that picture there long enough, you will soon become exactly as you have been thinking.

William James 820 quotes

All of our life is but a mass ...

All of our life is but a mass of small habits - practical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual - that bear us irresistibly toward our destiny.

William James 820 quotes

[Pragmatism's] only test of pr...

[Pragmatism's] only test of probable truth is what works best in the way of leading us, what fits every part of life best and combines with the collectivity of experience's demands, nothing being omitted.

William James 820 quotes

Divinity lies all around us, b...

Divinity lies all around us, but society remains too hidebound to accept that fact...The mother sea and the fountain-head of all religions lies in the mystical experiences of the individual.

William James 820 quotes

I am done with great things an...

I am done with great things and big things, great institutions and big success, and I am for those tiny, invisible molecular moral forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, yet which if you give them time, will rend the hardest monuments of man's pride.
