Explanation

The quotes "Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." and "Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune." are characteristic of William James's pragmatic philosophy. James emphasized the power of belief and action in shaping reality, and his writings on psychology and religion frequently discussed acceptance and moving forward from misfortune. The other options (William Hickey, William Jackson, Wilkie Collins) are not associated with these philosophical themes.
