“Skepticism is unbelief in causeand effect. A man does not see, that, as he eats, so he thinks: as he deals, so he is, and so he appears; he does not see that his son is the son of his thoughts and of his actions; that fortunes are not exceptions but fruits; that relation and connection are not somewhere and sometimes, but everywhere and always; no miscellany, noexemption, no anomaly,butmethod, and an even web; and what comes out, that wasput in.”
