#pragmatism

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

Truth happens to an idea. It becomes true, is made true by events.

The ultimate test of what a truth means is indeed the conduct it dictates or inspires.

Pragmatism unstiffens all our theories, limbers them up and puts each one to work.

The true is the name of whatever proves itself to be good in the way of belief.

Prefer the nourishing dumpling over the ornamental flower.

If you close your eyes to the facts of the trail, you will learn them through painful collisions.

The belly cannot be satisfied with eloquent advice; feed the hungry before you preach virtue.
