William James

"The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook."

"It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all."

"the exclusive worship of the bitch-goddess sucess is our national disease"

"إن بيننا وبين الله رابطة لا تنفصم، فإذا نحن أخضعنا أنفسنا لإشرافه - سبحانه وتعالى - تحققت أمنياتنا وآمالنا كلها."

"The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it."

"Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action."

"Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results."

"Wisdom is seeing something in a non-habitual manner."

"we have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood"

"If merely 'feeling good' could decide, drunkenness would be the supremely valid human experience."

"Belief creates the actual fact."

"Belief creates the actual fact."

"Belief creates the actual fact."

"A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain."

"Pragmatism asks its usual question. "Grant an idea or belief to be true,"it says, "what concrete difference will its being true make in anyone's actual life? How will the truth be realized? What experiences will be different from those which would obtain if the belief were false? What, in short, is the truth's cash-value in experiential terms?"

"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact."

"we have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood"

"Why should we think upon things that are lovely? Because thinking determines life. It is a common habit to blame life upon the environment. Environment modifies life but does not govern life. The soul is stronger than its surroundings."

"If merely 'feeling good' could decide, drunkenness would be the supremely valid human experience."

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