amount to but this, that more might have been done, or sooner. Young men
in the conduct and manage 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 to innovate, which draws unknown
inconveniences; use extreme remedies at first; and, that which doubleth
all errors, will not acknowledge or retract them--like an unready horse,
they will neither stop nor turn."
