Francis Bacon
Image
In revenge a man is but even with his enemy for it is a princely thing to pardon, and Solomon saith it is the glory of a man to pass over a transgression.
Francis Bacon
Image

Whence we see spiders, flies, or ants entombed and preserved forever in amber, a more than royal tomb.
Francis Bacon
Image
Age appears to be best in four things old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
Francis Bacon
Image
Learning hath his infancy, when it is but beginning and almost childish then his youth, when it is luxuriant and juvenile then his strength of years, when it is solid and reduced and lastly his old age, when it waxeth dry and exhaust.
Francis Bacon
Image
Disciples do owe their masters only a temporary belief, and a suspension of their own judgment till they be fully instructed.
Francis Bacon
Image
I'll follow, as they say, for reward. He that rewards me, God reward him. If I do grow great, I'll grow less for I'll purge, and leave sack, and live cleanly, as a nobleman should do.
Francis Bacon
Image
Philosophy when superficially studied, excites doubt, when thoroughly explored, it dispels it.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
