Knowledge may not be as a courtesan, for pleasure and vanity only, or as a bond-woman, to acquire and gain to her master’s use; but as a spouse, for generation, fruit, and comfort.
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
Francis Bacon, father of the scientific method, born on this day in 1561,
on studies
There was never proud man thought so absurdly well of himself, as the lover doth of the person loved; and therefore it was well said, That it is impossible to love, and to be wise.
Sir Francis Bacon, father of the scientific method, was born on this day in 1561 – celebrate with his
thoughts on love.
A principal fruit of friendship, is the ease and discharge of the fulness and swellings of the heart, which passions of all kinds do cause and induce.
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.
