O life! An age to the miserable, a moment to the happy.
Francis Bacon
Image
A king that would not feel his crown too heavy for him, must wear it every day but if he think it too light, he knoweth not of what metal it is made.

Francis Bacon
Image
Important families are like potatoes. The best parts are underground.
Francis Bacon
Image
Generally, youth is like the first cogitations, not so wise as the second. For there is a youth in thoughts, as well as in ages. And yet the invention of young men, is more lively than that of old and imaginations stream into their minds better, and, as it were, more divinely.
Francis Bacon

Choose the life that is most useful, and habit will make it the most agreeable.
Francis Bacon
