Quote of the Day (William James, on Hope and the ‘Willingness to Live on a Chance’)


“No fact in human nature is more characteristic than its willingness to live on a chance. The existence of the chance makes the difference … between a life of which the keynote is resignation and a life of which the keynote is hope.”—American philosopher and psychologist William James (1842-1910), Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study In Human Nature (1902)
