It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.
From Francis Bacon
It is natural to die as to be born.
He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief.
For my name and memory I leave to men's charitable speeches, and to foreign nations and the next ages.
Fortune is like the market, where, many times, if you can stay a little, the price will fall.
This is certain, that a man that studieth revenge keeps his wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.
Therefore if a man look sharply and attentively, he shall see Fortune; for though she be blind, yet she is not invisible.
Next to religion, let your care be to promote justice.
Studies serve for delight, for ornaments, and for ability.
Lies are sufficient to breed opinion, and opinion brings on substance.
