It Is The Very Essence Of Intelligence

I Believe That The Time Given To Refutation In Philosophy Is Usually Time Lost. Of The Many Attacks Directed By Many Thinkers Against Each Other, What Now Remains? Nothing, Or Assuredly Very Little. That Which Counts And Endures Is The Modicum Of Positive Truth Which Each Contributes. The True Statement Is, Of Itself, Able To Displace The Erroneous Idea, And Becomes, Without Our Having Taken The Trouble Of Refuting Anyone, The Best Of Refutations.

There Are Manifold Tones Of Mental Life, Or, In Other Words, Our Psychic Life May Be Lived At Different Heights, Now Nearer To Action, Now Further Removed From It, According To The Degree Of Our Attention To Life.

I Would Say Act Like A Man Of Thought And Think Like A Man Of Action.

The Universe... Is A Machine For The Making Of Gods.

It Is The Very Essence Of Intelligence To Coordinate Means With A View To A Remote End, And To Undertake What It Does Not Feel Absolutely Sure Of Carrying Out.
