Francis Bacon · 1561–1626 · English
Lord Chancellor and essayist of knowledge as power, revenge as a kind of wild justice, and reading as a full man.
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.
He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator.
To choose time is to save time.
