Definition of Outcome

Otherwise
Otherwise
  OUTCOME   noun
A particular type of disappointment.  By the kind of intelligence that sees in an exception a proof of the rule the wisdom of an act is judged by the outcome, the result.  This is immortal nonsense; the wisdom of an act is to be juded by the light that the doer had when he performed it.
