There Is, How­ever, A Strong Empir­i­cal Rea­son Why We Should Cul­ti­vate Thoughts That Can Never Be Proved. It Is That They Are Known To Be Use­ful.

He Can Stand The Most Incred­i­ble Hard­ships When He Is Con­vinced That They Make Sense; He Is Crushed When On Top Of All His Mis­for­tunes, He Has To Admit That He Is Tak­ing Part In A ‘tale Told By An Idiot.’
