Such is the way of all superstition, whether in astrology, dreams, omens, divine judgments, or the like wherein men, having a delight in such vanities, mark the events where they are fulfilled, but where they fail, though this happen much oftener.
Francis Bacon
Image
He that gives good advice, builds with one hand he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.
Francis Bacon
Image
I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is natural to die as to be born.
Francis Bacon
Image
Let the mind be enlarged... to the grandeur of the mysteries, and not the mysteries contracted to the narrowness of the mind
Francis Bacon
Image
Science is but an image of the truth.
Francis Bacon
