Francis Bacon
Image
If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again.
Francis Bacon
Image
God has, in fact, written two books, not just one. Of course, we are all familiar with the first book he wrote, namely Scripture. But he has written a second book called creation.
Francis Bacon
Image
By this means we presume we have established for ever, a true and legitimate marriage between the Empirical and Rational faculty whose fastidious and unfortunate divorce and separation hath troubled and disordered the whole race and generation of mankind.

Francis Bacon
Image
Never any knowledge was delivered in the same order it was invented.
Francis Bacon
Image

In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.
Francis Bacon
Image
The rising unto place is laborious, and by pains men come to greater pains and it is sometimes base, and by indignities men come to dignities. The standing is slippery, and the regress is either a downfall, or at least an eclipse.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
Image
It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.
Francis Bacon
Image
For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocence, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.
Francis Bacon
Image
There are many wise men that have secret hearts and transparent countenances.
Francis Bacon

The correlative to loving our neighbors as ourselves is hating ourselves as we hate our neighbors.
