Science is but an image of the truth.
From Francis Bacon
Young people are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and more fit for new projects than for settled business.
We are much beholden to Machiavel and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do.
By indignities men come to dignities.
Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men's nurses.
Judges ought to be more leaned than witty, more reverent than plausible, and more advised than confident. Above all things, integrity is their portion and proper virtue.
Studies perfect nature and are perfected still by experience.
The subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of the senses and understanding.
If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world.
If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
