Of all virtues and dignities of the mind, goodness is the greatest, being the character of the Deity and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing.
Francis Bacon
Chiefly the mold of a man's fortune is in his own hands.
Francis Bacon
Let no one think or maintain that a person can search too far or be too well studied in either the book of God's word or the book of God's works.
Francis Bacon
The only really interesting thing is what happens between two people in a room.
