Popular passages
Page 160 - The business of education, as I have already observed, is not, as I think, to make them perfect in any one of the sciences, but so to open and dispose their minds as may best make them capable of any, when they shall apply themselves to it.
Page 66 - The authority is subject to the superior authority of the Ego. I yield it, or I withhold it, as I please. I direct it in turn to several points. I concentrate it upon each point as long as my will can stand the effort." Sully says: "Attention may be roughly defined as the active self-direction of the mind to any object which presents itself at the moment.
Page 50 - By this term is meant a fixed tendency to think, feel, or act in a particular way under special circumstances. The formation of habits is a very important ingredient of what we mean by intellectual development ; but it is not all that is so meant.
