More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
Science is but an image of the truth.
Francis Bacon
Image
The mold of our fortunes is in our own hands.
Francis Bacon
Image
Discretion in speech is more than eloquence.
Francis Bacon
Image
For whatever deserves to exist deserves also to be known, for knowledge is the image of existence, and things mean and splendid exist alike.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
The virtue of prosperity is temperance the virtue of adversity is fortitude.
Francis Bacon
Image
The genius of any single man can no more equal learning, than a private purse hold way with the exchequer.
Francis Bacon
Image
All bravery stands upon comparisons.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
I should have been, I don't know, a con-man, a robber or a prostitute. But it was vanity that made me choose painting, vanity and chance.
Francis Bacon
Image
A lie faces God and shrinks from man.
Francis Bacon
Image
A man who contemplates revenge keeps his wounds green.
Francis Bacon
Image
Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.
Francis Bacon
Image
Reading maketh a full man and writing an axact man. And, therefore, if a man write little, he need have a present wit and if he read little, he need have much cunning to seem to know which he doth not.
Francis Bacon
Image
The errors of young men are the ruin of business, but the errors of aged men amount to this, that more might have been done, or sooner.
Francis Bacon
Image
The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses.
Francis Bacon
Image
The cord breaketh at last by the weakest pull.
Francis Bacon
Image
Such is the way of all superstition, whether in astrology, dreams, omens, divine judgments, or the like wherein men, having a delight in such vanities, mark the events where they are fulfilled, but where they fail, though this happen much oftener.
