Dictum Diei: Man's life as cheap as beast's

King Lear to Ragan:
O, reason not the need: our basest beggars
Are in the poorest thing superfluous:
Allow not nature more than nature needs,
Man’s life’s as cheap as beast’s: thou art a lady;
If only to go warm were gorgeous,
Why, nature needs not what thou gorgeous wear’st,
Which scarcely keeps thee warm.

– William Shakespeare, King Lear

Dictum Diei: Bacon on prejudice

"Men become attached to certain particular sciences and speculations, either because they fancy themselves the authors and inventors thereof, or because they have bestowed the greatest pains upon them and become most habituated to them. But men of this kind, if they betake themselves to philosophy and contemplations of a general character, distort and color them in obedience to their former fancies; a thing especially to be noticed in Aristotle, who made his natural philosophy a mere bond servant to his logic, thereby rendering it contentious and well nigh useless."

- Francis Bacon from The New Organon

Verseday Thursday: Milton

On His Blindness - John Milton (1608-1674)

When I consider how my light is spent
     Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
     And that one Talent which is death to hide
     Lodge with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
     My true account, lest He returning chide,
     "Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?"
     I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies, "God doth not need
     Either man's work or his own gifts. Who best
     Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is kingly: thousands at his bidding speed,
     And post o'er land and ocean without rest;
     They also serve who only stand and wait."
