Francis Bacon
Image
Reading maketh a full man conference a ready man and writing an exact man.

Francis Bacon
Image
The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses.
Francis Bacon
Image
The breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air than in the hand.

Cure the disease and kill the patient.
Francis Bacon
Image
Our humanity is a poor thing, except for the divinity that stirs within us.
