Image
The partitions of knowledge are not like several lines that meet in one angle, and so touch not in a point but are like branches of a tree, that meet in a stem, which hath a dimension and quantity of entireness and continuance, before it come to discontinue and break itself into arms and boughs.
Francis Bacon
Image
Seek ye first the good things of the mind, and the rest will either be supplied or its loss will not be felt.

Francis Bacon
Image
They are happy men whose natures sort with their vocations.
Francis Bacon

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
They that reverence to much old times are but a scorn to the new.
Francis Bacon
Image
Virtue is like precious odours,-most fragrant when they are incensed or crushed.
Francis Bacon
Image
Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.
Francis Bacon
Image
A good conscience is a continual feast.
Francis Bacon
Image
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.
Francis Bacon
Image
The wonder of a single snowflake outweighs the wisdom of a million meteorologists.
Francis Bacon
Image
For friends... do but look upon good Books: they are true friends, that will neither flatter nor dissemble.
Francis Bacon
Image
That which above all other yields the sweetest smell in the air is the violet.
Francis Bacon
