Image
The natures and dispositions of men are, not without truth, distinguished from the predominance of the planets.
Francis Bacon
Image
For first of all we must prepare a Natural and Experimental History, sufficient and good and this is the foundation of all for we are not to imagine or suppose, but to discover, what nature does or may be made to do.
Francis Bacon
Image
The surest way to prevent seditions...is to take away the matter of them.

The noblest works and foundations have proceeded from childless men, which have sought to express the images of their minds where those of their bodies have failed.
