Famous quotes containing the words james, clark and/or reynolds:
“That reality is ‘independent’ means that there is something in every experience that escapes our arbitrary control. If it be a sensible experience it coerces our attention; if a sequence, we cannot invert it; if we compare two terms we can come to only one result. There is a push, an urgency, within our very experience, against which we are on the whole powerless, and which drives us in a direction that is the destiny of our belief.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“I never felt that getting angry would do you any good other than hurt your own digestion—keep you from eating, which I liked to do.”
—Septima Clark (1898–1987)
“If you have great talents, industry will improve them: if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiency.”
