Opportunity makes a thief.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
The natures and dispositions of men are, not without truth, distinguished from the predominance of the planets.

Francis Bacon
Rebellions of the belly are the worst.
Francis Bacon
If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Again there is another great and powerful cause why the sciences have made but little progress which is this. It is not possible to run a course aright when the goal itself has not been rightly placed.
Francis Bacon
Learning hath his infancy, when it is but beginning and almost childish then his youth, when it is luxuriant and juvenile then his strength of years, when it is solid and reduced and lastly his old age, when it waxeth dry and exhaust.
Francis Bacon
God hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.
Francis Bacon
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Francis Bacon
The bee enclosed and through the amber shown Seems buried in the juice which was his own.
Francis Bacon
It is a sad fate for a man to die too well known to everybody else, and still unknown to himself.
Francis Bacon
