More quotes by William James
Habit is a second nature, or rather, it is 'ten times nature'.
William James
Creatures extremely low in the intellectual scale may have conception. All that is required is that they should recognize the same experience again. A polyp would be a conceptual thinker if a feeling of 'Hello! thingumbob again!' ever flitted through its mind.
William James
We are thinking beings, and we cannot exclude the intellect from participating in any of our functions.
William James
Religion must be considered vindicated in a certain way from the attacks of her critics.
William James
The desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption.
William James
Focus on increasing service. Becoming great where you are. Pile in the wood. The heat will follow.
William James
The difference between the first and second-best things in art absolutely seems to escape verbal definition -- it is a matter of a hair, a shade, an inward quiver of some kind -- yet what miles away in the point of preciousness!
William James
The science of logic never made a man reason rightly, and the science of ethics never made a man behave rightly. The most such sciences can do is to help us to catch ourselves up and check ourselves, if we start to reason or to behave wrongly and to criticise ourselves more articulately after we have made mistakes.
William James
Each of us is in fact what he is almost exclusively by virtue of his imitative-ness.
William James
To improve the golden moment of opportunity, and catch the good that is within our reach, is the great art of life.
William James
Most men have a good memory for facts connected with their own pursuits.
William James
A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain.
William James
Tension is a habit. Relaxing is a habit. Bad habits can be broken, good habits formed.
William James
The teacher's prime concern should be to ingrain into the pupil that assortment of habits that shall be most useful to him throughout life. Education is for behavior, and habits are the stuff of which behavior consists.
William James
Habit is the enormous flywheel of society, its most precious conservative agent. There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision. Full half the time of such a man goes to the deciding, or regretting, of matters which ought to be so ingrained in him as practically not to exist for his consciousness at all.
William James
To consider hypotheses is surely always better than to dogmatize ins blaue hinein
William James
A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.
William James
The God of many men is little more than their court of appeal against the damnatory judgment passed on their failures by the opinion of the world.
William James
That which is most personal, is most interesting.
William James
Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me,' and when you have found that attitude, follow it.
William James
