Excerpt from Introduction to Science
For myself I found that I was fitted for noth ing SO well as for the study of Truth; as having a mind nimble and versatile enough to catch the resemblance of things (which is the chief point), and at the same time steady enough to fix and distinguish their subtler differences; as being gifted by nature with desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to reconsider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and as being a man that neither affects what is new nor admires what is old, and that hates every kind Of imposture. SO I thought my nature had a kind of familiarity and relation ship with Truth. - francis bacon.
