Young men are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and fitter for new projects than for settled business.
Francis Bacon Quotes
Those who have handled sciences have been either men of experiment or men of dogmas. The men of experiment are like the ant ; they only collect and use; the reasoners resemble spiders, who make cobwebs out of their own substance.But the bee takes a middle course; it gathers its material from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests by a power of its own.Not unlike this is the true business of philosophy.
