Mathematics Is Distinguished From All Other Sciences

If An Opinion Can Eventually Go To The Determination Of A Practical Belief, It, In So Far, Becomes Itself A Practical Belief; And Every Proposition That Is Not Pure Metaphysical Jargon And Chatter Must Have Some Possible Bearing Upon Practice.

I Think Of Consciousness As A Bottomless Lake, Whose Waters Seem Transparent, Yet Into Which We Can Clearly See But A Little Way.but In This Water There Are Countless Objects At Different Depths; And Certain Influences Will Give Certain Kinds Of Those Objects An Upward Influence Which May Be Intense Enough And Continue Long Enough To Bring Them Into The Upper Visible Layer. After The Impulse Ceases They Commence To Sink Downwards.
