Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.
From Francis Bacon
Choose the life that is most useful, and habit will make it the most agreeable.
The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
Wise men make more opportunities than they find.
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics.
Things alter for the worse spontaneously, if they be not altered for the better designedly.
Of all virtues and dignities of the mind, goodness is the greatest, being the character of the Deity; and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing.
The great end of life is not knowledge but action.
