Quote of the Week – Francis Bacon

March 22, 2014 By Jean Wise

Quote - healthyspirituality.org

It’s not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong;

not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich;

not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned;

and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.

 

Francis Bacon (1561 -1626)
