Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Francis Bacon
The desire of excessive power caused the angels to fall the desire of knowledge caused men to fall.
Francis Bacon
Mark what a generosity and courage (a dog) will put on when he finds himself maintained by a man, who to him is instead of a God
