"To spend life for something which outlasts..." - Quote by William James

“The thinker philosophizes as the lover loves. Even were the consequences not only useless but harmful, he must obey his impulse.”

“The strenuous life tastes better”

“Deepest principle of human nature is to be appreciated.”

“I want to make a dent in the universe.”

“[When I die], I will decidedly not be regretting missed opportunities for a good time. My regrets will be more along the lines of a sad list of people hurt, people let down, assets wasted and advantages squandered.”

“IF PARENTS PASS ENTHUSIASM ALONG TO THEIR CHILDREN, THEY WILL LEAVE THEM AN ESTATE OF INCALCULABLE VALUE”

“We're not trying to entertain the critics ... I'll take my chances with the public.”

“But labor of the hands, even when pursued to the verge of drudgery, is perhaps never the worst form of idleness. It has a constantand imperishable moral, and to the scholar it yields a classic result.”

“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”
