Important Quotations (Francis Bacon)
Of Revenge Revenge is a kind of wild justice.
Of Wives are young men’s mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men’s nurses.
Marriage Unmarried men are best friends, best masters, best servants but not always best subjects.
& Single A bachelor’s life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch and a miserable dinner.
Life Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.
Of Love It is impossible to love and be wise.
Of A good friend is another himself.
Friendship Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust and old author to read.
Suspicions among thoughts are like bats among birds.
The secret of success is the constancy of purpose.
Of Truth Opportunity makes a thief.
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted…..but to
weigh and consider.
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.
Of Reading Maketh a full man, conference a ready man; writing an exact man.
Studies Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed and some few to be
chewed and digested.
Studies serve for delight, for ornament and for ability.
Of Prosperity is not without many fears and disasters; adversity not without many
Adversity comforts and hopes
Ladder of Wise men make more opportunities than they find.
the Mind Knowledge and human power are synonymous.
History of Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.
Life and It is natural to die to death as to be born.
Death Men fear death as children fear to go in dark.
