There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.
Francis BaconThe human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it.
Francis BaconIt is true, that a little philosophy inclineth manโs mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth menโs minds about to religion. For while the mind of man looketh upon second causes scattered, it may sometimes rest in them, and go no further; but when it beholdeth the chain of them, confederate and linked together, it must needs fly to Providence and Deity.
Francis Bacon
