Francis Bacon
I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.
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
There is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
I would like, in my arbitrary way, to bring one nearer to the actual human being.
