Top 5 quotes from William James
"The essence of genius is to know what to overlook."
"Religion is the monumental chapter in the history of human egotism."
"Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his lttle finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed."
"The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook."
"The best use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts life."
