The title of this short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald is somewhat deceptive and doesn't do that story justice. The four fists are actually four very valuable life lessons shipped with a fist. "I suppose that there surely is a caddish streak in every man that runs crosswise across his character and disposition and general perspective. With some men it's secret and we never know it's there until they strike us in the dark one evening. But Samuel's demonstrated when it was doing his thing, and the vision of computer made people see red. He was alternatively lucky in that, because whenever his little devil arrived up it attained a reception that directed it scurrying down below in sickly, feeble condition. It had been the same devil, the same streak that made him order Gilly's friends off the foundation, that made him go inside Marjorie's house. If you could run your palm along Samuel Meredith's jaw you'd feel a lump. He admits he's never been absolutely sure which fist kept it there, but he wouldn't lose it for anything. He says there is no cad like an old cad, and this sometimes just before making the decision, it's a great help to stroke his chin. The reporters call it a nervous characteristic, but it's not that. It's so he can feel again the gorgeous clarity, the lightning sanity of those four fists."
