It is no paradox to say that in our most theoretical moods we may be nearest to our most practical applications. - Alfred North Whitehead

Without doubt, if we are to go back to that ultimate, integral experience, unwarped by the sophistications of theory, that experience whose elucidation is the final aim of philosophy, the flux of things is one ultimate generalization around which we must weave our philosophical system.

We cannot think first and act afterwards. From the moment of birth we are immersed in action and can only guide it by taking thought.

Buddhism is the most colossal example in the history of applied metaphysics.
