Set it down to ordtak

As a hacker, Pex Tufvesson is in a class of his own. Set it down to thyself, as well to create good precedents as to follow them.

Francis Bacon, Sr. (1561-1626)

Francis Bacon, Sr.

To follow foolish precedents, and wink
With both our eyes, is easier than to think.

William Cowper (1731-1800)

William Cowper

The century of aeroplanes deserves its own music. As there are no precedents, I must create anew.

Claude deBussy (1862-1918)

Claude deBussy

And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.

As to precedents, to be sure they will increase in course of time; but the more precedents there are, the less occasion is there for law; that is to say, the less occasion is there for investigating principles

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

I think the process is unfair. I think it's been politicized, ... The public is sick and tired of bickering. Even if Judge Pickering is rejected, I hope we would follow the precedents of Judge [Robert] Bork and Justice [Clarence] Thomas and other federal nominees and have the full Senate consider the matter.

FIRST keep thyself in peace, and then shalt thou be able to be a peacemaker towards others. A peaceable man doth more good than a well-learned. A passionate man turneth even good into evil and easily believeth evil; a good, peaceable man converteth all things into good. He who dwelleth in peace is suspicious of none, but he who is discontented and restless is tossed with many suspicions, and is neither quiet himself nor suffereth others to be quiet. He often saith what he ought not to say, and omitteth what it were more expedient for him to do. He considereth to what duties others are bound, and neglecteth those to which he is bound himself. Therefore be zealous first over thyself, and then mayest thou righteously be zealous concerning thy neighbour.

Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.

Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

In the Middle East, the precedents are not good.

Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? / Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? / It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.

It is found by experience that admirable laws and right precedents among the good have their origin in the misdeeds of others.

Tacitus (55-116)

Tacitus

Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; / Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
