Pragmatism, therefore, by refuting 'useless' knowledge, shows that it does not admit such merely subjective 'uses.

If they fail to harmonize with the situation they are untrue, however attractive they may be.
But, for these brethren there was none of all these knights and nobles who might abide their onset; all day long they together maintained the lists till there none remained to cope with them, wherefore the marshal would have had them run a course together for proof which was the mightier.
In his profession he was not incompetent. But there is no profession in which a really competent man tries to understand women.

What pleasure could I get from trying to cope with a masterpiece printed in diminutive grey-ish type on a semi-transparent little grey-ish page? I relieve the bookstall of nothing but a newspaper or two.
Especially when he was more than half in love with you to start with. . . . Oh, I should like to shake you!" "Well, I'll leave now as soon as ever you like," replied Magda, slipping down from the bed. She was unwontedly meek, from which Gillian judged that for once she felt herself unable to cope with the situation she had created. "Will you arrange it?" Gillian shrugged her shoulders.
