The Behaviorist cannot find consciousness in the test-tube of his science.

No one knows just how the idea of a soul or the supernatural started... It probably had its origin in the general laziness of mankind.

This dogma (the soul) has been present in human psychology from earliest antiquity. No one has ever touched the soul, or has seen one in a test tube, or has in any way come into a relationship with it as he has with the other objects of his daily experience.

The Behaviorist cannot find consciousness in the test-tube of his science.

There are... for us no instincts—we no longer need the term in psychology. Everything we have been in the habit of calling an 'instinct' today is a result largely of training—belonging to man's learned behavior.

The behaviorist advances the view that what the psychologists have hitherto called thought is in short nothing but talking to ourselves.

The first aim of a good college is not to teach books, but the meaning and purpose of life. Hard study and the learning of books are only a means to this end. We develop power and courage and determination and we go out to achieve Truth, Wisdom and Justice. If we do not come to this, the cost of schooling is wasted.
