Young men are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and fitter for new projects than for settled business.
Francis Bacon Quotes
Mahomet made the people believe that he would call a hill to him, and from the top of it offer up his prayers for the observers of his law. The people assembled: Mahomet called the hill to come to him again and again; and when the hill stood still he was never a whit abashed, but said, ‘If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill.’
