[Vo]:Thought for the day from Francis Bacon

[Jed Rothwell]

 "The human understanding, when any preposition has been once laid 
down, (either from general admission and belief, or from the pleasure it 
affords,) forces every thing else to add fresh support and confirmation; 
and although more cogent and abundant instances may exist to the 
contrary, yet either does not observe or despises them, or gets rid of 
and rejects them by some distinction, with violent and injurious 
prejudice, rather than sacrifice the authority of its first conclusions."

- Francis Bacon, Novum Organum ("New Instrument")
