الصفحة 535 - Behold, we know not anything; I can but trust that good shall fall At last — far off — at last, to all, And every winter change to spring.
الصفحة 56 - The pragmatic method starts from the postulate that there is no difference of truth that does n't make a difference of fact somewhere ; and it seeks to determine the meaning of all differences of opinion by making the discussion hinge as soon as possible upon some practical or particular issue.
