William James
  • Truth lives, in fact, for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs pass, so long as nothing challenges them, just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.

  • Truth is what works.

  • We have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood.

  • The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.

  • Wisdom is learning what to overlook.
