Francis Bacon

With a gentleman I am always a gentleman and a half, and with a fraud I try to be a fraud and a half.

Who questions much, shall learn much, and retain much.

Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted… but to weigh and consider.

Science is but an image of the truth.

Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed.

It is in life as it is in ways, the shortest way is commonly the foulest, and surely the fairer way is not much about.
