On acting AS IF by 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
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. To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly. No exceptions. Genius, in truth, means little more than the faculty of percerving in an unhabitual way. In the dim background of mind we know what we ought to be doing but somehow we cannot start. A great many people think they are thinking when they are rearranging their prejudices.
