A True Proposition Is A Proposition Belief

A Hypothesis Is Something Which Looks As If It Might Be True And Were True, And Which Is Capable Of Verification Or Refutation By Comparison With Facts.

If Man Were Immortal He Could Be Perfectly Sure Of Seeing The Day When Everything In Which He Had Trusted Should Betray His Trust, And, In Short, Of Coming Eventually To Hopeless Misery. He Would Break Down, At Last, As Every Good Fortune, As Every Dynasty, As Every Civilization Does. In Place Of This We Have Death.

And What, Then, Is Belief? It Is The Demi-cadence Which Closes A Musical Phrase In The Symphony Of Our Intellectual Life.

If An Opinion Can Eventually Go To The Determination Of A Practical Belief, It, In So Far, Becomes Itself A Practical Belief; And Every Proposition That Is Not Pure Metaphysical Jargon And Chatter Must Have Some Possible Bearing Upon Practice.

The Entire Universe Is Perfused With Signs, If It Is Not Composed Exclusively Of Signs.
