Bacon Brothers

Famous quotes containing the words bacon and/or brothers:

    For a crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.
    —Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    The majority of the men of the North, and of the South and East and West, are not men of principle. If they vote, they do not send men to Congress on errands of humanity; but while their brothers and sisters are being scourged and hung for loving liberty,... it is the mismanagement of wood and iron and stone and gold which concerns them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
