More quotes by William James
Man can alter his life by altering his thinking.
William James
A man has as many social selves as there are individuals who recognize him.
William James
The instinct of ownership is fundamental in man's nature.
William James
My thinking is first and last and always for the sake of my doing, and I can only do one thing at a time.
William James
I originally studied medicine in order to be a physiologist, but I drifted into psychology and philosophy from a sort of fatality. I never had any philosophic instruction, the first lecture on psychology I ever heard being the first I ever gave.
William James
Ingenuity in meeting and pursuing the pupil, that tact for the concrete situation, though they are the alpha and omega of the teacher's art, are things to which psychology cannot help us in the least.
William James
You may not get everything you dream about, but you will never get anything you don't dream about.
William James
Agisci come se quel che fai, facesse la differenza. La fa!
William James
We with our lives are like islands in the sea... The islands also hang together through the ocean's bottom.
William James
A purely disembodied human emotion is a nonentity.
William James
With no attempt there can be no failure with no failure no humiliation.
William James
We have grown literally afraid to be poor. We despise anyone who elects to be poor in order to simplify and save his inner life. If he does not join the general scramble and pant with the money-making street, we deem him spiritless and lacking in ambition
William James
Smitten as we are with the vision of social righteousness, a God indifferent to everything but adulation, and full of partiality for his individual favorites, lacks an essential element of largeness.
William James
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
William James
Democracy is still upon its trial. The civic genius of our people is its only bulwark.
William James
The greatest enemy of any one of our truths may be the rest of our truths.
William James
Every sort of energy and endurance, of courage and capacity for handling life's evils, is set free in those who have religious faith.
William James
Millions of items in the outward order are present to my senses which never properly enter into my experience. Why? Because they have no interest for me. My experience is what I agree to attend to. Only those items which I notice shape my mind --without selective interest, experience is an utter chaos.
William James
In business for yourself, not by yourself.
William James
It would probably astound each of them beyond measure to be let into his neighbor's mind and to find how different the scenery there was from that in his own.
William James
