We started this Cafe in a lecture room in the University but then walked across the road and held the Knowledge Cafe in a real cafe! They had a large upstairs room that we took over. Luckily for us we were finished before their peak lunch time period!

Quotations are extremely effective at capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and ideas. They can be inspirational but more importantly quotations can help us reveal and assess the assumptions, values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.

I have compiled over 500 quotations and short excerpts on this website. It is an eclectic mix but most of them are inspirational or insightful in nature and relate to knowledge, learning or personal development in some form.

If you love quotations as much as I do then you may wish to register to have a quote e-mailed to you once a week or more frequently by clicking on the button below and completing the form.

Quotations from William James:

 We can act AS IF there were a God; feel AS IF we were free; consider Nature AS IF she were full of special designs; lay plans AS IF we were to be immortal; and we find then that these words do make a genuine difference in our moral life.

William James 



 To change one's life:
Start immediately.
Do it flamboyantly.
No exceptions.

William James 



 Genius, in truth, means little more than the faculty of percerving in an unhabitual way.

William James 



 In the dim background of mind we know what we ought to be doing but somehow we cannot start.

William James 



 A great many people think they are thinking when they are rearranging their prejudices.
