Famous quotes by francis bacon:

“It is a strange desire, to seek power, and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man’s self.”

Less then a span:
In his conception wretched, from the womb
So to the tomb;
Curst from his cradle, and brought up to years
With cares and fears.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

“Certainly fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swoln, and drowns things weighty and solid.”
