Francis Bacon
Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.
Francis Bacon
There is no doubt but men of genius and leisure may carry our method to greater perfection, but, having had long experience, we have found none equal to it for the commodiousness it affords in working with the Understanding.
Francis Bacon
If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
