- Experiment: “Experience does not ever err. It is only your judgment that errs in promising itself results which are not caused by your experiments.”

- Time prioritization: “Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.”
- Focus: “As every divided kingdom falls, so every mind divided between many studies confounds and saps itself.”
