Effort Supposes Resistance.

A Sign, Or Representamen, Is Something Which Stands To Somebody For Something In Some Respect Or Capacity. It Addresses Somebody,that Is, Creates In The Mind Of That Person An Equivalent Sign, Or Perhaps A More Developed Sign. That Sign Which It Creates I Call The Interpretant Of The First Sign. The Sign Stands For Something, Its Object. It Stands For That Object, Not In All Respects, But In Reference To A Sort Of Idea, Which I Have Sometimes Called The Ground Of The Representamen.

When An Image Is Said To Be Singular, It Is Meant That It Is Absolutely Determinate In All Respects. Every Possible Character, Or The Negative Thereof, Must Be True Of Such An Image.

The Opinion Which Is Fated To Be Ultimately Agreed To By All Who Investigate, Is What We Mean By The Truth, And The Object Represented In This Opinion Is The Real. That Is The Way I Would Explain Reality.

It Is A Common Observation That Those Who Dwell Continually Upon Their Expectations Are Apt To Become Oblivious To The Requirements Of Their Actual Situation.

We Do Not Really Think, We Are Barely Conscious, Until Something Goes Wrong.
