Francis Bacon
First the amendment of their own minds. For the removal of the impediments of the mind will sooner clear the passages of fortune than the obtaining fortune will remove the impediments of the mind.
Francis Bacon
The human understanding is no dry light, but receives an infusion from the will and affections... What a man had rather were true he more readily believes.
Francis Bacon

For men's minds, will either feed upon their own good, or upon others' evil and who wanteth the one, will prey upon the other and whoso is out of hope, to attain to another's virtue, will seek to come at even hand, by depressing another's fortune.
Francis Bacon
The dignity of this end of endowment of man's life with new commodity appeareth by the estimation that antiquity made of such as guided thereunto for whereas founders of states, lawgivers, extirpators of tyrants, fathers of the people, were honoured but with the titles of demigods, inventors ere ever consecrated among the gods themselves.
Francis Bacon
Defer not charities till death for certainly, if a man weigh it rightly, he that doth so is rather liberal of another man's than of his own.
Francis Bacon
When Christ came into the world, peace was sung and when He went out of the world, peace was bequeathed.
Francis Bacon
We must see whether the same clock with weights will go faster at the top of a mountain or at the bottom of a mine it is probable, if the pull of the weights decreases on the mountain and increases in the mine, that the earth has real attraction.
Francis Bacon
That things are changed, and that nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains exactly the same, is sufficiently certain.
Francis Bacon
All of our actions take their hue from the complexion of the heart, as landscapes their variety from light.
Francis Bacon
