Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Discuss
Nuptial love maketh mankind; friendly love perfecteth it; but wanton love corrupteth, and embaseth it.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Discuss
It is as natural to die, as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful, as the other.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Discuss
There is no vice that doth so cover a man with shame, as to be found false and perfidious.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Discuss
The greatest trust, between man and man, is the trust of giving counsel. For in other confidences, men commit the parts of life; their lands, their goods … some particular affair; but to such as they make their counselors, they commit the whole.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Discuss
Boldness is ever blind; for it seeth not danger, and inconveniences.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Discuss

A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others; for men’s minds will either feed upon their own good, or upon others’ evil; and who wanteth the one will prey upon the other.

Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Discuss
My take on this: “Fame can float you, fame can sink you: That which you’re famous for is of your choosing!”
The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Discuss
My take on this: The Garden of Eden might have been a place of bliss (ignorant of Power and Knowledge.) What good are they both if they displace you from your natural place: The fruits of power and knowledge are deemed to fall out of grace and loose it.
