Famous quotes containing the words plays and/or james:

    Better to be despised and have a servant, than to be self-important and lack food.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 12:9.

    RSV translation reads, “Better is a man of humble standing who works for himself than one who plays the great man but lacks bread.”

    ... religious experience, as we have studied it, cannot be cited as unequivocally supporting the infinitist belief. The only thing that it unequivocally testifies to is that we can experience union with something larger than ourselves and in that union find our greatest peace.
    —William James (1842–1910)
