Francis Bacon
  • There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.

  • The worst men often give the best advice.

  • 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.

  • The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.

  • Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried, or childless men.
