Image
There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man's own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health.
Francis Bacon
Image
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.
Francis Bacon
Image
Choose the life that is most useful, and habit will make it the most agreeable.
Francis Bacon

Riches are for spending, and spending for honor and good actions therefore extraordinary expense must be limited by the worth of the occasion.
Francis Bacon
Image
They are happy men whose natures sort with their vocations.
