“The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.” — William James




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

It's William James the psychologist, the brother of Henry James the novelist.

One could say the same to “the art of a successful marriage”.

You mean like “Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.” Benjamin Franklin

Yep, I guess that means the same. Although selective overlooking may be a little different.
