There are very few things which we know, which are not capable of

being reduced to a mathematical reasoning. And when they cannot,

it’s a sign our knowledge of them is very small and confused. Where a

mathematical reasoning can be had, it’s as great a folly to make use of

any other, as to grope for a thing in the dark, when you have a candle

standing by you.

—Of the Laws of Chance, Preface (1692)
