I pass with relief from the tossing sea of Cause and Theory to the firm ground of Result and Fact.

There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result.

I am certainly not one of those who need to be prodded. In fact, if anything, I am the prod.

How empty is theory in the presence of fact!

The cause is hidden, but the result is known.
