Houses are built to live in, and not to look on: therefore let use be preferred before uniformity.
Francis BaconLet the mind be enlarged... to the grandeur of the mysteries, and not the mysteries contracted to the narrowness of the mind
Francis BaconThe human understanding, when any preposition has been once laid down... forces everything else to add fresh support and confirmation; and although more cogent and abundant instances may exist to the contrary, yet it either does not observe them or it despises them, or it gets rid of and rejects them by some distinction, with violent and injurious prejudice, rather than sacrifice the authority of its first conclusions.
Francis Bacon
