Charles Mackay Quote
An enthusiastic philosopher, of whose name we are not informed, had constructed a very satisfactory theory on some subject or other, and was not a little proud of it. But the facts, my dear fellow, said his friend, the facts do not agree with your theory.—Don't they? replied the philosopher, shrugging his shoulders, then, ;—so much the worse for the facts!
