bite me, Sir Francis
Have been attempting to finish off Bacon's Essayes, am at Essay 50, "Of Studies," and ran across the following quote:
"To spend too much Time in Studies, is Sloth..."
Well. I never.
I should try that one on some of my profs and see how it goes over.
ETA: Another unrelated Baconian gem for the old commonplace-book. This one is for all of the EI people:
"Many have an Opinion not wise; That for a Prince to Governe his Estate; Or for a Great Person to governe his Proceedings, according to the Respect of Factions, is a Principall Part of Policy..."
I was going to make it my sig, but I never post anymore anyway, so what would be the point?
