With this quote, Lord Francis Bacon reminds us that success is rarely achieved by happenstance, but rather by taking action. A British lawyer, statesman, and philosopher born in 1561, Bacon wrote extensively on the topics of ethics, politics, and religion.

This quote encapsulates his attitude on ambition and has been a rallying cry of self-made women and men for hundreds of years.
