$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / Young men are fitter to invent than to \ | judge; fitter for execution than for | | counsel; and fitter for new projects | | than for settled business. For the | | experience of age, in things that fall | | within the compass of it, directeth | | them; but in new things, abuseth them. | | The errors of young men are the ruin of | | business; but the errors of aged men | | amount but to this, that more might | | have been done, or sooner. Young men, | | in the conduct and management of | | actions, embrace more than they can | | hold; stir more than they can quiet; | | fly to the end, without consideration | | of the means and degrees; pursue some | | few principles which they have chanced | | upon absurdly; care not how they | | innovate, which draws unknown | | inconveniences; and, that which | | doubleth all errors, will not | | acknowledge or retract them; like an | | unready horse, that will neither stop | | nor turn. Men of age object too much, | | consult too long, adventure too little, | | repent too soon, and seldom drive | | business home to the full period, but | | content themselves with a mediocrity of | | success. Certainly, it is good to | | compound employments of both ... | | because the virtues of either age may | | correct the defects of both. | | | | -- Francis Bacon, "Essay on Youth and | \ Age" / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
