Quotes

• “Indeed I am inclined to go so far as to say that the one cause for which one may properly make war is the cause of peace.”
• “This insistence on "having his say upon the universe" is the profoundest motive of William James thinking as well as of his filial gratitude.”
• “He believed that liberalism had saved the intellect at the cost of the repudiating the great historical phenomenon of religion.”
• “The English mind is intelligent rather than intellectual. The French are intellectual in the sense that the intellect is emancipated and left free to run its own course.”
• “… the fear of God together with a keen eye for the main chance.”
• “Is the intellect to be regarded as autonomous and self-sufficient, as pursuing ends of its own, and as judging by standards of its own? or is it to be regarded as the servant of alien interests which impose their ends and standards upon it? The modern tendency has been towards the latter or practical interpretation of the knowing faculties.”
