Grice: Master Sentences

Speranza

Grice recollects all he learned from Wilson (or Cook Wilson, to be more precise). He was fascinated by once hearing Wilson (or Cook Wilson) utter a 'master sentence':

i. What we know, we know.

Grice uses the Oxford comma, but when this master sentence travelled to Cambridge it lost it!

ii. What we know we know.
