Francis Bacon
Image
Knowledge is power.
Francis Bacon
Image
Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not but superstition dismounts all these, and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
Image
The voice of the people has about it something divine: for how otherwise can so many heads agree together as one?
