Francis Bacon Vices Quotations

There is no vice that doth so cover a man with shame as to be found false and perfidious.

Prosperity discovers vice, adversity discovers virtue.

If vices were profitable, the virtuous man would be the sinner.

Vices of the time; vices of the man.

Certainly virtue is like precious odors, most fragrant when they are incensed, or crushed: for prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue.
