Famous quotes containing the words highest and/or increase:
“Old-fashioned determinism was what we may call hard determinism. It did not shrink from such words as fatality, bondage of the will, necessitation, and the like. Nowadays, we have a soft determinism which abhors harsh words, and, repudiating fatality, necessity, and even predetermination, says that its real name is freedom; for freedom is only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“The whole value of history, of biography, is to increase my self-trust, by demonstrating what man can be and do.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
