William James, recognized as a pioneering psychologist and philosopher wrote extensively of education, religious experience and pragmatism, perhaps drew on his own personal experience of physical ailments and bouts of depression.

William James quotes ~
• “A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.”
• “Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.”
• “A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain.”
• “Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.”
• “An act has no ethical quality whatever unless it be chosen out of several all equally possible.”
• “Could the young but realize how soon they will become mere walking bundles of habits, they would give more heed to their conduct while in the plastic state.”

• “The community of masses of human beings has produced an order of life in regulated channels which connects individuals in a technically functioning organisation, but not inwardly from the historicity of their souls.”
• Philosophy of Existence, Karl Jaspers
