| Sir Francis Baconb: London, England., Jan 22, 1561 d: Highgate, England., Apr 9, 1626 English. Statesman. Philosopher. Essayist. Advocate of inductive reasoning; wrote famed Novum Organum, 1620; Essayes, 1597.
Death is a friend of ours; and he that is not ready to entertain him is not at home. 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 be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties. In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior. Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more man's nature runs to the more ought law to weed it out. |
