Francis Bacon

It cannot be denied that outward accidents conduce much to fortune, favor, opportunity, death of others, occasion fitting virtue but chiefly, the mold of a man's fortune is in his own hands
Francis Bacon

In charity there is no excess.
Francis Bacon
Image
[Science is] the labor and handicraft of the mind.

Men ought to find the difference between saltiness and bitterness. Certainly, he that hath a satirical vein, as he maketh others afraid of his wit, so he had need be afraid of others' memory.
Francis Bacon
Image
The general root of superstition is that men observe when things hit, and not when they miss, and commit to memory the one, and pass over the other.
Francis Bacon
Image
The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes the wrong one.
Francis Bacon
Image
He that gives good advice, builds with one hand he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.
Francis Bacon
Image
For whatever deserves to exist deserves also to be known, for knowledge is the image of existence, and things mean and splendid exist alike.
Francis Bacon
Image
Praise is the reflection of virtue.
Francis Bacon
Image
To be free minded and cheerfully disposed at hours of meat and sleep and of exercise is one of the best precepts of long lasting.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nothing doth more hurt in a state than that cunning men pass for wise.
