Famous quotes containing the words bacon and/or number:
“What life is best?
Courts are but only superficial schools
To dandle fools:
The rural parts are turned into a den
Of savage men:
And where ‘s a city from all vice so free,
But may be termed the worst of all the three?”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“God ... created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failed—that is the meaning of evolution.”
