"Induce in order to deduce, so as to construct."
Original French: "Induire pour déduire, afin de construire."

AUGUSTE COMTE, Subjective Synthesis.

"All sciences are connected and provide mutual assistance to each other, like parts of the same whole, each performing its own work, not only for its own sake, but for the sake of the others."
Original Latin: "Omnes scientiae sunt connexae, et mutuis se fovent auxiliis, sicut partes ejusdem totius, quarum quaelibet opus suum peragit, non solum propter se, sed pro aliis."

ROGER BACON, Opus Tertium.
