Francis Bacon
-
Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.
-
Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.
-
Truth is a good dog but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out.
-
Truth is so hard to tell, it sometimes needs fiction to make it plausible.
-
Science is but an image of the truth.
