The small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify we give the name of knowledge.

POSITIVISM, n. A philosophy that denies our knowledge of the Real and affirms our ignorance of the Apparent. Its longest exponent is Comte, its broadest Mill and its thickest Spencer.

Oh, the Germans classify, but the French arrange!.

In this world one must have a name; it prevents confusion, even when it does not establish identity. Some, though, are known by numbers, which also seem inadequate distinctions.

Learning, n. The kind of ignorance distinguishing the studious.

Religion, n. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
