Famous quotes containing the word handled:

“Those who have handled sciences have either been men of experiment or men of dogmas. The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use; the reasoners resemble spiders, who make cobwebs out of their own substance. But the bee takes the middle course; it gathers its material from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own. Not unlike this is the true business of philosophy.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

“Assent—and you are sane—,
Demur—you’re straightway dangerous—,
And handled with a Chain—.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
