Francis Bacon · 1561–1626
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.

He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator.
To choose time is to save time.
