"Pretend what we may, the whole man..." - Quote by William James

“There can be no final truth in ethics any more than in physics, until the last man has had his experience and said his say.”

“Metaphysics means nothing but an unusually obstinate effort to think clearly.”

“To be a real philosopher all that is necessary is to hate some one else's type of thinking.”

“Well, sir, if things are real, they’re there all the time." "Are they?" said the Professor; and Peter did not quite know what to say.”

“Humor is the good natured side of a truth.”

“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.”

“We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.”

“Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable . . .”

“It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.”
