William James Quotes

We Must Know The Truth; And We Must Avoid Error,
these Are Our First And Great Commandments As Would-be Knowers; But They Are Not Two Ways Of Stating An Identical Commandment, They Are Two Separable Laws. Although It May Indeed Happen That When We Believe The Truth A, We Escape As An Incidental Consequence From Believing The Falsehood B, It Hardly Ever Happens That By Merely Disbelieving B We Necessarily Believe A. We May In Escaping B Fall Into Believing Other Falsehoods, C Or D, Just As Bad As B; Or We May Escape B By Not Believing Anything At All, Not Even A.
