Francis Bacon
Since custom is the principal magistrate of man's life, let men by all means endeavor to obtain good customs.
Francis Bacon
The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.
Francis Bacon
To suffering there is a limit to fearing, none.
Francis Bacon
I had rather believe all the Fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a Mind.
Francis Bacon
I hold every man a debtor to his profession from the which as men of course do seek to receive countenance and profit, so ought they of duty to endeavor themselves, by way of amends, to be a help and ornament thereunto.
Francis Bacon
It was well said that envy keeps no holidays.
