Francis Bacon Affection Quotations

The light that a man receiveth by counsel from another is drier and purer than that which cometh from his own understanding and judgment, which is ever infused and drenched in his affections and customs.

Hope is the most beneficial of all the affections, and doth much to the prolongation of life...

None of the affections have been noted to fascinate and bewitch but envy.

Love and envy make a man pine, which other affections do not, because they are not so continual.
