Francis Bacon
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
There is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
All the crimes on earth do not destroy so many of the human race nor alienate so much property as drunkenness.
Francis Bacon
Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things
Francis Bacon
