The errors of young men are the ruin of business, but the errors of aged men amount to this, that more might have been done, or sooner.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is good discretion not make too much of any man at the first because one cannot hold out that proportion.
Francis Bacon
Image
I hold every man a debtor to his profession from the which as men of course do seek to receive countenance and profit, so ought they of duty to endeavor themselves, by way of amends, to be a help and ornament thereunto.
