Great riches have sold more men than they have bought.

It cannot be that axioms established by argumentation should avail for the discovery of new works, since the subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of argument. But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active.

In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy but in passing it over, he is superior.
