More quotes by William James

"Belief creates the actual fact."
"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."
"إن بيننا وبين الله رابطة لا تنفصم، فإذا نحن أخضعنا أنفسنا لإشرافه - سبحانه وتعالى - تحققت أمنياتنا وآمالنا كلها."
"If merely 'feeling good' could decide, drunkenness would be the supremely valid human experience."
"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact."
