Now, it had always seemed one of the easiest things possible to get out of camp. So it was in theory "only got to keep out of the roads and paths, cross the fields and keep to the moor, and there you are." But when, after making up his mind which way to go, Samson tried to practise instead of theorise, he found the task not quite so easy.
'Can you guess who killed the man? asked the chaplain, eagerly waiting for the bishop's name to be pronounced. 'I never guess, sir. I theorise from external evidence, and then try, with such brains as God has given me, to prove my theories. 'You have gained some evidence, then? 'If I have, Mr Cargrim, you'll hear it when I place the murderer in the dock.
Go marry, Agatha, and bring children into the world, and when you have reared them you can set up a political salon and theorise about the regeneration of humanity. Let Miss Gray do likewise. You play with these things when you are young later on you will find them dry bones." "Dear me!" Lady Agatha said, with admiration. "What a pity she isn't with us, Mary!
Action may be regarded as a kind of middle term between mind and matter; it is the throe of thought and thing, the quivering clash and union of body and soul; commonplace enough in practice; miraculous, as violating every canon on which thought and reason are founded, if we theorise about it, put it under the microscope, and vivisect it.
He was obviously an out-door man; a gun seemed a more natural complement to his hands than the sensitive keys of a piano, his thick rather clumsy fingers manifestly incompatible with the delicate touch that was filling the room with wonderful harmony. It was a check to her cherished theory which she acknowledged reluctantly. But she forgot to theorise in the sheer joy of listening.
The latter hypothesis is tenable, for we theorise that if spontaneous generation still occurs on the earth, it is far more likely to occur in the form of simple organisms than of complicated organisms. Another thing we know, and that is that it is in crowded populations that new diseases arise. They have done so in the past. They do so to-day.
I feel that, apart from our work, we ought to try and arrive at some solution, to draw some sort of conclusions to reflect, to theorise; we may not draw nearer to the secret, but our only hope of doing so, the only hope that humanity will do so, is for some at least to try. And thus I think that I have perhaps been saved from a great delusion.
There's a human emotion somewhere, but it's never really there; it might have been, but it is not.... It is very well done, it is very intelligent; but it does not seem to live, to palpitate.... In like manner there are men who have read everything, who understand everything, who can theorise; they can tell you all about the masterpiece, but when it comes to producing one, well, they're not on in that scene.
In truth he was so afraid of assumptions and "anticipations" and prejudices his great bugbear was so much the "intellectus sibi permissus" the mind given liberty to guess and imagine and theorise, instead of, as it ought, absolutely and servilely submitting itself to the control of facts that he missed the true place of the rational and formative element in his account of Induction.
It is very easy for any one to theorise, and form schemes for the education of children, and to introduce changes which may appear beneficial. Fancy is very prolific, and a number of books may easily be read, and yet the right knowledge not be gained.
