The Essays
"Look upon good books; they are true friends, that will neither flatter nor dissemble: be you but true to yourself...and you shall need no other comfort nor counsel."
"انظر إلى الكتب الجيدة؛ إنها أصدقاء حقيقيون، لن يمدحوك زوراً ولن يخادعوك: كن أنت فقط صادقاً مع نفسك... ولن تحتاج إلى أي عزاء أو مشورة أخرى."
Francis Bacon
"It was a good answer that was made by one who when they showed him hanging in a temple a picture of those who had paid their vows as having escaped shipwreck, and would have him say whether he did not now acknowledge the power of the gods, — ‘Aye,’ asked he again, ‘but where are they painted that were drowned after their vows?’ And such is the way of all superstition, whether in astrology, dreams, omens, divine judgments, or the like; wherein men, having a delight in such vanities, mark the events where they are fulfilled, but where they fail, though this happens much oftener, neglect and pass them by."
"لقد كان جوابًا سديدًا ذاك الذي قاله أحدهم حين أُريَ في معبدٍ صورةً لمن نذروا نذورهم ونجوا من غرق سفينتهم، وطُلب منه أن يقرّ بقوة الآلهة. فسأل هو بدوره: "أجل، ولكن أين صور أولئك الذين غرقوا بعد نذورهم؟" وهكذا هو دأب كل خرافة، سواء في علم التنجيم، أو الأحلام، أو الطوالع، أو الأحكام الإلهية، أو ما شابهها؛ حيث يميل الناس، لولعهم بهذه الأباطيل، إلى ملاحظة الأحداث التي تتحقق فيها، أما تلك التي تفشل، وإن كان ذلك يحدث غالبًا، فيهملونها ويتجاوزونها."
Francis Bacon

"Despise no new accident in your body, but ask opinion of it… There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic. A man’s observation, what he finds good and of what he finds hurt of, is the best physic to preserve health."
"لا تحتقر أي عارض جديد يطرأ على جسدك، بل اطلب المشورة بشأنه... ففي هذا حكمة تتجاوز قواعد الطب. إن ملاحظة المرء لنفسه، وما يجده نافعًا له وما يجده ضارًا، هي خير دواء للحفاظ على صحته."
Francis Bacon

"The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug; it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and pleasure, it's a little like making love, the physical act of love."
Francis Bacon

"We see then how far the monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands. For have not some books continued twenty-five hundred years or more, without the loss of a syllable or letter; during which time infinite palaces, temples, castles, and cities have been decayed and demolished?"
