Francis Bacon
Man was formed for society.
Francis Bacon
Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things
Francis Bacon
In revenge a man is but even with his enemy for it is a princely thing to pardon, and Solomon saith it is the glory of a man to pass over a transgression.
Francis Bacon
The virtue of prosperity is temperance the virtue of adversity is fortitude.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
