Quote of the Day (Sir Francis Bacon, on Being ‘Gracious and Courteous to Strangers’)

“If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island, cut off from other lands, but a continent, that joins to them.”— Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626), “Of Goodness and Goodness of Nature,” in Essays of Francis Bacon (1627)
