Famous quotes containing the words james and/or carnegie:

    “That reality is ‘independent’ means that there is something in every experience that escapes our arbitrary control. If it be a sensible experience it coerces our attention; if a sequence, we cannot invert it; if we compare two terms we can come to only one result. There is a push, an urgency, within our very experience, against which we are on the whole powerless, and which drives us in a direction that is the destiny of our belief.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar.”
    —Andrew Carnegie (1835–1919)
