Francis Bacon
-
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.
-
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
-
Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men's nurses.
-
Life, an age to the miserable, and a moment to the happy.
-
A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.
