Quotation of the Day for February 21, 2014



"But, whether the attention come by grace of genius or by dint of will, the longer one does attend to a topic the more mastery of it one has. And the faculty of voluntarily bringing back a wandering attention, over and over again, is the very root of judgment, character, and will."

- William James, from The Principles of Psychology (1890).
