More quotes by Francis Bacon
Next to religion, let your care be to promote justice.
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
Nothing opens the heart like a true friend, to whom you may impart griefs, joys, fears, hopes...and whatever lies upon the heart.
Francis Bacon
Nature is often hidden, sometimes overcome, seldom extinguished.
Francis Bacon
It is good discretion not make too much of any man at the first because one cannot hold out that proportion.
Francis Bacon
A picture should be a re-creation of an event rather than an illustration of an object but there is no tension in the picture unless there is a struggle with the object.
Francis Bacon
In all superstition wise men follow fools.
Francis Bacon
If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
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
The genius, wit, and the spirit of a nation are discovered by their proverbs.
Francis Bacon
The logic now in use serves rather to fix and give stability to the errors which have their foundation in commonly received notions than to help the search for truth. So it does more harm than good.
Francis Bacon
It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man's judgment
Francis Bacon
For no man can forbid the spark nor tell whence it may come.
Francis Bacon
Certainly, it is heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.
Francis Bacon
First the amendment of their own minds. For the removal of the impediments of the mind will sooner clear the passages of fortune than the obtaining fortune will remove the impediments of the mind.
Francis Bacon
Since custom is the principal magistrate of man's life, let men by all means endeavor to obtain good customs.
Francis Bacon
Certainly man is of kin to the beasts by his body and if he be not kin to God by his spirit, he is a base and ignoble creature.
Francis Bacon
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon
Consistency is the foundation of virtue.
Francis Bacon
When any of the four pillars of government-religion, justice, counsel, and treasure-are mainly shaken or weakened, men had need to pray for fair weather.
Francis Bacon
