Quote by -Francis Bacon
Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.
Quote by -Francis Bacon
There is a wisdom in this; beyond the rules of physic: a man's own observation, what he finds good of, and what he finds hurt of, is the best physic to preserve health.
Quote by -Francis Bacon
For a crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.
Quote by -Francis Bacon
The joys of parents are secret; and so are their griefs and fears. They cannot utter the one; nor they will not utter the other. Children sweeten labors; but they make misfortunes more bitter. They increase the cares of life; but they mitigate the remembrance of death.
Quote by -Francis Bacon
There be none of the affections, which have been noted to fascinate or bewitch, but love and envy. They both have vehement wishes; they frame themselves readily into imaginations and suggestions; and they come easily into the eye, especially upon the present of the objects; which are the points that conduce to fascination, if any such thing there be.
Quote by -Francis Bacon
It is not the lie that passes through the mind, but the lie that sinks in and settles in it, that does the hurt.
Quote by -Francis Bacon
Men fear death as children fear to go into the dark and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other.
Quote by -Francis Bacon
Worthy books are not companions - they are solitudes: we lose ourselves in them and all our cares.
Quote by -Francis Bacon
A man that is young in years, may be old in hours, if he have lost no time. But that happeneth rarely. 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.
