To neglect the wise sayings of great thinkers is to deny ourselves the truest education.

Modern man . . . has not ceased to be credulous . . . the need to believe haunts him.

Volition . . . takes place only when there are a number of conflicting systems of ideas, and depends on our having a complex field of consciousness.

That which is most personal, is most interesting.

The absolute things, the last things, the overlapping things, are the truly philosophic concerns; all superior minds feel seriously about them, and the mind with the shortest views is simply the mind of the more shallow man.

To be conscious means not simply to be, but to be reported, known, to have awareness of one's being added to that being.

So to feel brave, act as if we were brave, use all our will to that end...and a courage-fit will very likely replace the fit of fear.
