More quotes by Francis Bacon
The genius of any single man can no more equal learning, than a private purse hold way with the exchequer.
Francis Bacon
The inquiry of truth, which is the love-making, or the wooing of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human nature.
Francis Bacon
The cause and root of nearly all evils in the sciences is this-that while we falsely admire and extol the powers of the human mind we neglect to seek for its true helps.
Francis Bacon
The rising unto place is laborious, and by pains men come to greater pains and it is sometimes base, and by indignities men come to dignities. The standing is slippery, and the regress is either a downfall, or at least an eclipse.
Francis Bacon
It has well been said that the arch-flatterer, with whom all petty flatterers have intelligence, is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
The zeal which begins with hypocrisy must conclude in treachery at first it deceives, at last it betrays
Francis Bacon
States are great engines moving slowly.
Francis Bacon
It is a sad fate for a man to die too well known to everybody else, and still unknown to himself.
Francis Bacon
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Francis Bacon
That things are changed, and that nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains exactly the same, is sufficiently certain.
Francis Bacon
Innovations, which are the births of time.
Francis Bacon
States, as great engines, move slowly.
Francis Bacon
God hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.
Francis Bacon
Chiefly the mold of a man's fortune is in his own hands.
Francis Bacon
The human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it.
Francis Bacon
Young people are fitter to invent than to judge fitter for execution than for counsel and more fit for new projects than for settled business.
Francis Bacon
All the crimes on earth do not destroy so many of the human race nor alienate so much property as drunkenness.
Francis Bacon
Things alter for the worse spontaneously, if they be not altered for the better designedly.
Francis Bacon
My painting is not violent, it's life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.
Francis Bacon
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand - and melting like a snowflake.
Francis Bacon
