The bee enclosed and through the amber shown Seems buried in the juice which was his own.
Francis BaconIf I might control the literature of the household, I would guarantee the well-being of Church and State.
Francis BaconThe genius of any single man can no more equal learning, than a private purse hold way with the exchequer.
Francis BaconThe Idols of Tribe have their foundation in human nature itself, and in the tribe or race of men. For it is a false assertion that the sense of man is the measure of things. On the contrary, all perceptions as well of the sense as of the mind are according to the measure of the individual and not according to the measure of the universe. And the 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 Bacon
