Greeting

“Reason is, and ought only to be, the slave of the passions.”

“Let us put the force of habit to the test.”
“I shall examine things through the skeptic's eye.”

Deploy

“Observe and verify!”
“Strip away the shell of dogma!”
“Present the evidence of experience!”

Victory

“Experience has defeated dogma.”
“A moment where probability stands in for certainty.”
