Quote
1897·Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.
My experience is what I agree to attend to.
I think that yesterday was a crisis in my life. I finished the first part of Renouvier's second Essais and see no reason why his definition of free will—"the sustaining of a thought because I choose to when I might have other thoughts"—need be the definition of an illusion. At any rate, I will assume for the present—until next year—that it is no illusion. My first act of free will shall be to believe in free will.
Herodotus·-440 ADIt is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half of the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.
Søren Kierkegaard·1844To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.
Mahatma Gandhi·1947You may never know what results come of your actions. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
