It was prettily devised of Aesop, The fly sat on the axle tree of the chariot wheel and said, what dust do I raise!
Francis Bacon
Image
The only really interesting thing is what happens between two people in a room.
Francis Bacon
Image
Out of monuments, names, words proverbs ...and the like, we do save and recover somewhat from the deluge of time.
Francis Bacon
Image
They are happy men whose natures sort with their vocations.

There is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
Image
Because the acts or events of true history have not that magnitude which satisfieth the mind of man, poesy feigneth acts and events greater and more heroical.
Francis Bacon
