Francis Bacon
-
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
-
Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor.
-
Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men's nurses.
-
Nothing doth more hurt in a state than that cunning men pass for wise.
-
But men must know, that in this theatre of man's life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.
