Quote by Henry Bolingbroke

We can only reason from what is; we can reason on actualities, but not on possibilities.

We can only reason from what is; we can reason on actualitie

Summary

This quote emphasizes that our reasoning should be grounded in verifiable facts and existing circumstances rather than speculating or theorizing about potential outcomes. It suggests that our logical thinking should be based on the present reality, as it is what can be objectively explored and analyzed. By focusing on what already exists, we can make sound judgments and draw accurate conclusions, rather than engaging in fruitless speculation about what might or might not happen.
