About
Francis Bacon
Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St. Alban KC (22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626) was an English philosopher, statesman and essayist. His works argued for the possibility of scientific knowledge based only upon inductive reasoning and careful observation of events in nature. Most importantly, he argued this could be achieved by use of a sceptical and methodical approach whereby scientists aim to avoid misleading themselves. His general idea of the importance and possibility of a skeptical methodology makes Bacon the father of the scientific method. This marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, the practical details of which are still central in debates about science and methodology today.

Çoğunlukla kötü erkeklere iyi eşler düştüğü görülür. (...) Şu şaşmaz bir kuraldır: Kadınlar arkadaşlarının uyarısına rağmen kötü adamları tercih etmiş ve kendilerine koca yapmışlarsa, sonraları gösterdikleri sabır yaptıkları çılgınlığı örtmek içindir.
..it often falls out that somewhat is produced of nothing; for lies are sufficient to breed opinion, and opinion brings on substance.

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience. He that travelleth into a country before he hath some entrance into the language, goeth to school, and not to travel.
