William James
Tell him to live by yes and no - yes to everything good, no to everything bad.
William James
Ninety-nine hundredths or, possibly, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousandths of our activity is purely automatic and habitual, from our rising in the morning to our lying down each night.
William James
The first lecture in psychology that I ever heard was the first I ever gave.
