      Foreword

      God's first creature was light.

      This book is an anthology of quotes from Francis Bacon and selected facts about Francis Bacon.

      It is impossible to love and to be wise.

      A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.

      A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.

      Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor.

      Boldness is a child of ignorance.

      Opportunity makes a thief.

      Prosperity is the blessing of the Old Testament; adversity is the blessing of the New.

      A crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.

      A healthy body is the guest-chamber of the soul; a sick, its prison.

      A just fear of an imminent danger, though there be no blow given, is a lawful cause of war.

      A lie faces God and shrinks from man.

      Biographers believe that Bacon was educated at home in his early years owing to poor health, which would plague him throughout his life.

      He received tuition from John Walsall, a graduate of Oxford with a strong leaning toward Puritanism.

      He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, on 5 April 1573 at the age of 12, living for three years there.

      Bacon's education was conducted largely in Latin and followed the medieval curriculum.

      He was also educated at the University of Poitiers.

      It was at Cambridge that he first met Queen Elizabeth, who was impressed by his precocious intellect.

      His parliamentary career began when he was elected MP for Bossiney, Cornwall, in a by-election in 1581.

      In the Parliament of 1586, he openly urged execution for the Catholic Mary, Queen of Scots.

      In 1588 he became MP for Liverpool and then for Middlesex in 1593. He later sat three times for Ipswich and once for Cambridge University
