"The empiric easily degenerates into the quack. He does not know where his knowledge begins or leaves off, and so when he gets beyond routine conditions he begins to pretend—to make claims for which there is no justification, and to trust to luck and to ability to impose upon others—to “bluff.”"
"Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of the imagination."
"Children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming where everyone is interdependent."
"We have already noticed the difference in the attitude of a spectator and of an agent or participant. The former is indifferent to what is going on; one result is just as good as another, since each is just something to look at. The latter is bound up with what is going on; its outcome makes a difference to him."
"We only think when confronted with a problem."
"It (science) involves an intelligent and persistent endeavor to revise current beliefs so as to weed out what is erroneous, to add to their accuracy, and, above all, to give them such shape that the dependencies of the various facts upon one another may be as obvious as possible."
"We only think when we are confronted with a problem."
"Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes."
"Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another."
"Search for a single, inclusive good is doomed to failure. Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situation of experience its own full and unique meaning."
