Natura non vincitur nisi parendo” (Nature cannot be vanquished until she is obeyed). is Aphorism 3 of Book 1 of Novum Organum Scientiarum. Vygotsky was impressed by this aphorism and wanted to use it as the epigraph for a book on the history of the cultural development of the child, which later became The History of the Development of the Higher Mental Functions.

There should be some sentences by Bacon about theory and practice saying something how he conceives theory and how "by a sloping path" practice becomes conceived.
Anyone remembering or knowing it please?

In https://www.marxists.org/archive/vygotsky/works/1931/self-control.htm, Vygotsky refers to "Bacon's Law." Maybe one can guess from this and the other reference to Bacon what Vygotsky means by "Bacon's Law," but is there anyone who can actually give me the source in Bacon?
