Cure the disease and kill the patient.
— Sir Francis Bacon
Doctor Johnson said, that in sickness there were three things that were material; the physician, the disease, and the patient: and if any two of these joined, then they get the victory; for, Ne Hercules quidem contra duos [Not even Hercules himself is a match for two]. If the physician and the patient join, then down goes the disease; for then the patient recovers: if the physician and the disease join, that is a strong disease; and the physician mistaking the cure, then down goes the patient: if the patient and the disease join, then down goes the physician; for he is discredited.
— Sir Francis Bacon

— Sir Francis Bacon

— Sir Francis Bacon
It is worthy the observing, that there is no passion in the mind of man, so weak, but it mates, and masters, the fear of death; and therefore, death is no such terrible enemy, when a man hath so many attendants about him, that can win the combat of him. Revenge triumphs over death; love slights it; honor aspireth to it; grief flieth to it; fear preoccupieth it.
— Sir Francis Bacon
Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other.
— Sir Francis Bacon
Men fear Death, as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other.
