"It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all."
"Belief creates the actual fact."
"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?"
"Belief creates the actual fact."
"we have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood"
