Quote by Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

• Discretion in speech is more than eloquence.

• Houses are built to live in, not to look on; therefore, let use be preferred before uniformity, except where both may be had.

• They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.

• A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.

• Knowledge is power.

• Man seeketh in society comfort, use and protection.
