William James

“If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.”

“If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it.”

“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.”

“'Pure experience' is the name I gave to the immediate flux of life which furnishes the material to our later reflection with its conceptual categories.”

“Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results.”

“Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.”

“To change ones life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly.”

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