You didn’t succeed. Well, what of that? There’s nothing to prove, you know, and the revolution’s not a question of virtue but of effectiveness. There is no heaven. There’s work to be done, that’s all. And you must do what you’re cut out for; all the better if it comes easy to you. The best work is not the work that takes the most sacrifice. It’s the work in which you can best succeed.

For I hold that it is only when we can prove everything we assert that we understand perfectly the thing under consideration.
In argument similes are like songs in love; they describe much, but prove nothing.
