“The reckoning what to do or abstain from in particular circumstances will constantly include a reference, implicit or explicit, to generalities. […] Because of it human conduct is not left to be distinguished from the behavior of other animals by the fact that in it calculation is used by which to ascertain the means to perfectly particular ends. The human wants things like health and happiness and science and fair repute and virtue and prosperity, he does not simply want, e.g., that such-and-such a thing should be in such-and-such a place at such-and-such a time.”

“The will, I believe, is the mystery of mysteries. Who can say beforehand that his will is strong? There are all kinds of indefinable currents moving to and fro between one's will and one's inclinations. People talk as if the two things were essentially distinct; on different sides of one's organism, like the heart and the liver. I believe there is a certain group of circumstances possible for every man, in which his will is destined to snap like a dry twig.”

“يعد أمساك كتاب ما، أكبر تحدي للشخص الذي يريد أن يقتات من المعرفة و تغذية العقل لما يواحهه الشخص من عوائق كالملل و السأم، و الضجر و ضيق الوقت! و لكن الفهيم من يكسر كل هذه الحواجز و يجتاز الصعاب للوصول إلى مطلبه و إصابه هدفه، و تحصيل غايته... فالحمد لله أن سخرني لهذا من غير حول مني و لا قوة و حسبي ربي جل علاه نعم المعين و هادي الأرواح..”
