Thus the same object may supply a practical perception to one person and a speculative one to another, or the same person may perceive it partly practically and partly speculatively.

An expectation is a future object, recognised as belonging to me.

Hence, in desiring, the more the enjoyment is delayed, the more fancy begins to weave about the object images of future fruition, and to clothe the desired object with properties calculated to inflame the impulse.

The sensory acts are accordingly distinguished by their objects.

For psychological purposes the most important differences in conation are those in virtue of which the object is revealed as sensed or perceived or imaged or remembered or thought.

Mental life is indeed practical through and through. It begins in practice and it ends in practice.

Both expectations and memories are more than mere images founded on previous experience.
