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 the middle course, it gathers its material from the flowers of the garden and field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.
Francis BaconMen fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.
Francis Bacon
