Sir Francis Bacon Quote

The friendship doubles the joys and divides the sorrows in half.

Some books are tasted, others swallowed, and only a few are chewed and digested.

By seeking revenge, one equals oneself to their enemy; by forgiving, one shows superiority over them.

He who does not want to think is a fanatic; he who cannot think is an idiot; he who dares not to think is a coward.

Money is like manure: it's not good unless it's spread around.

There is nothing that does more harm to a nation than cunning people passing for intelligent.

Old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

In government matters, any change is suspicious, even if it is for the better.

The requirement for success is promptness in decisions.

Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.

Without friendship, the world is a desert.
