Thomas steels himself for the night ahead and quells the ensuing argument on today's episode!

Thomas' line starting with, "What we think, or what we know..." actually comes from a passage of the 1912 book by Shan F. Bullock, "Thomas Andrews Shipbuilder" - a book commissioned by the Andrews Family as a tribute to Thomas - and is as follows:
"But, it might be said, Andrews had such opportunity and the rare good fortune also to have his spirit suited with work that proved his powers. It was so. Yet one knows certainly that had his opportunity been different he would still have seized it; have been the best engine driver in Ulster or have greased wheels contentedly and with all diligence. One remembers the sentence from Ruskin which he had printed on his Christmas card for 1910: “What we think, or what we know, or what we believe, is in the end of little consequence. The only thing of consequence is what we do." "
- Shan F. Bullock, "Thomas Andrews Shipbuilder" 1912

I couldn't pass on this line by Andrews himself from just 2 years previous. It fit with the situation far too well!
