"The amount of psychology which is necessary..." - Quote by William James

“Every individual existence goes out in a lonely spasm of helpless agony.”

“Truth is what works.”

“A great idea goes through three stages on its way to acceptance: 1) it is dismissed as nonsense, 2) it is acknowledged as true, but insignificant, 3) finally, it is seen to be important, but not really anything new.”

“The mother of excess is not joy but joylessness.”

“Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.”

“If you will have a person enslaved, the first thing you must do is convince yourself that the person is subhuman. The second thing you have to do is convince your allies so you'll have some help, and the third and probably unkindest cut of all is to convince that person that he or she is subhuman and deserves it.”

“The propagation of truth and nonviolence can be done less by books than by actually living on those principles.”

“All that we need explicitly to note is that, the more the passive attention is relied on, by keeping the material interesting; and the less the kind of attention requiring effort is appealed to; the more smoothly and pleasantly the classroom work goes on.”

“Ye great teachers: listen to what you say!”
