“Of Studies” By Francis Bacon
Studies serve for delight, for interest, and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in privateness and retiring; for interest, is in conversation; and for ability, is in the judgement and disposition of business. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for interest is affectation; to make judgement wholly by [...]
We The People
In 1776, we declared our independence from Great Britain. We successfully won the war and later adopted a constitution in 1787. Yet, while we were fighting for our freedom, we were enslaving others.
