More quotes by Francis Bacon
Truth ... is the sovereign good of human nature.
Francis Bacon
The divisions of science are not like different lines that meet in one angle, but rather like the branches of trees that join in one trunk.
Francis Bacon
Generally, youth is like the first cogitations, not so wise as the second. For there is a youth in thoughts, as well as in ages. And yet the invention of young men, is more lively than that of old and imaginations stream into their minds better, and, as it were, more divinely.
Francis Bacon
It is a good point of cunning for a man to shape the answer he would have in his own words and propositions, for it makes the other party stick the less.
Francis Bacon
No man's fortune can be an end worthy of his being.
Francis Bacon
There is in human nature generally more of the fool than of the wise.
Francis Bacon
Much bending breaks the bow much unbending the mind.
Francis Bacon
Money is a good servant, a dangerous master.
Francis Bacon
I regret not starting to paint earlier...It is one of the few things I do regret.
Francis Bacon
Boldness is a child of ignorance
Francis Bacon
It cannot be denied that outward accidents conduce much to fortune, favor, opportunity, death of others, occasion fitting virtue but chiefly, the mold of a man's fortune is in his own hands
Francis Bacon
The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness , of fear and pleasure it's a little like making love, the physical act of love.
Francis Bacon
But we are not dedicating or building any Capitol or Pyramid to human Pride, but found a holy temple in the human Intellect, on the model of the Universe... For whatever is worthy of Existence is worthy of Knowledge-which is the Image (or Echo) of Existence.
Francis Bacon
A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others. For men's minds, will either feed upon their own good, or upon others' evil and who wanteth the one, will prey upon the other and whoso is out of hope, to attain to another's virtue, will seek to come at even hand, by depressing another's fortune.
Francis Bacon
The monuments of wit survive the monuments of power.
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
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
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
Let no one think or maintain that a person can search too far or be too well studied in either the book of God's word or the book of God's works.
Francis Bacon
Discretion in speech is more than eloquence.
Francis Bacon
