In the dim background of mind we know what we ought to be doing but somehow we cannot start.

In business for yourself, not by yourself.

Time itself comes in drops.

We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.

Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.

Philosophy is at once the most sublime and the most trivial of human pursuits. It works in the minutest crannies and it opens outthe widest vistas. It 'bakes no bread', as has been said, but it can inspire our souls with courage.

The absolute things, the last things, the overlapping things, are the truly philosophic concerns; all superior minds feel seriously about them, and the mind with the shortest views is simply the mind of the more shallow man.
