Alfred Lawson Quote

Lawsonomy is the knowledge of Life and everything pertaining thereto. Lawsonomy is based on Life as it is and not upon a theory of what it ought to be. Theory, as espoused by so-called wise men or self-styled scholars has no place in Lawsonomy. Everything must be provable or reasonable or it is not Lawsonomy. Lawsonomy treats of things as they are and not as they are pretended to be. Facts, not fancies; Truth, not falsity; Knowledge not notions; is the foundation of Lawsonomy.
