| William James
...{A} rule of thinking which would absolutely prevent me from acknowledging certain kinds of truth if those ... truths were really there, would be an irrational rule. {from The Will to Believe} A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging
their prejudices.As a rule we disbelieve all the facts and theories for which we have no use. Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact. Only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom.The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind. The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives. The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it. There is only one thing a philosopher can be relied upon to do, and that is to contradict other philosophers. |
