—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“Because just as arms have no force outside if there is no counsel within a house, study is vain and counsel useless that is not put to virtuous effect when the time calls.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“But thus I counsel you, my friends: mistrust everyone in whom the impulse to punish is strong!”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
