What are the facts? Again and again and again --- 
what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore 
divine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", 
avoid opinion, Care not what the neighbors think, 
never mind the unguessable "verdict of history" --- 
what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? 
You pilot always in to an unknown future; facts are
your only chance. Get the facts!
