Francis Bacon

  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    THE joys of parents are secret; and so are their griefs and fears. They cannot utter the one; nor they will not utter the other.
  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    A wise son rejoiceth the father, but an ungracious son shames the mother.
  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    illiberality of parents, in allowance towards their children, is an harmful error; makes them base; acquaints them with shifts; makes them sort with mean company; and makes them surfeit more when they come to plenty.
  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    proof is best, when men keep their authority towards the children, but not their purse.
  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    doth bring lies in favor;

    No difficulty. An easy act.
    People love lie.

  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    it is not only the difficulty and labor, which men take in finding out of truth, nor again, that when it is found, it imposeth upon men's thoughts, that doth bring lies in favor; but a natural, though corrupt love, of the lie itself.

    Simple act. No hard work in lie. You get pleasure and delight

  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    Certainly there be, that delight in giddiness, and count it a bondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will in thinking, as well as in acting.
  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    this same truth, is a naked, and open day-light

    Everything is clear.

  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that showeth best by day;
  • Arishba Moazamhas quoted2 years ago
    A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure.
