A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others. For men's minds, will either feed upon their own good, or upon others' evil; and who wanteth the one, will prey upon the other; and whoso is out of hope, to attain to another's virtue, will seek to come at even hand, by depressing another's fortune.
Francis BaconAs the births of living creatures at first are ill-shapen, so are all innovations, which are the births of time.
Francis BaconThere ought to be gardens for all months in the year, in which, severally, things of beauty may be then in season.
