Francis Bacon
He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.
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.
In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
Who questions much, shall learn much, and retain much.
There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.
There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so; but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.
God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.
A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
