Famous quotes by francis bacon:
“I cannot call Riches better than the baggage of virtue. The Roman word is better, impedimenta. For as the baggage is to an army, so is riches to virtue. It cannot be spared nor left behind, but it hindereth the march; yea and the care of it sometimes loseth or disturbeth the victory.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“We are much beholden to Machiavel and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“There was a young man in Rome that was very like Augustus Caesar; Augustus took knowledge of it and sent for the man, and asked him ‘Was your mother never at Rome?’ He answered ‘No Sir; but my father was.’”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
