Image
When a doubt is once received, men labour rather how to keep it a doubt still, than how to solve it and accordingly bend their wits.
Francis Bacon
Image
The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes the wrong one.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
The wonder of a single snowflake outweighs the wisdom of a million meteorologists.
Francis Bacon
Image
Riches are for spending, and spending for honor and good actions therefore extraordinary expense must be limited by the worth of the occasion.
Francis Bacon
Image
There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.
