Francis Bacon
The partitions of knowledge are not like several lines that meet in one angle, and so touch not in a point but are like branches of a tree, that meet in a stem, which hath a dimension and quantity of entireness and continuance, before it come to discontinue and break itself into arms and boughs.
Francis Bacon
A lie faces God and shrinks from man.
Francis Bacon
We see then how far the monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands.

Francis Bacon
