More quotes by Francis Bacon
Chiefly the mold of a man's fortune is in his own hands.
Francis Bacon
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience.
Francis Bacon
I'm just trying to make images as accurately as possible off my nervous system as I can.
Francis Bacon
Time is the author of authors.
Francis Bacon
There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.
Francis Bacon
I have to hope that my instincts will do the right thing, because I can't erase what I have done. And if I drew something first, then my paintings would be illustrations of drawings.
Francis Bacon
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
I hold every man a debtor to his profession from the which as men of course do seek to receive countenance and profit, so ought they of duty to endeavor themselves, by way of amends, to be a help and ornament thereunto.
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
Very few people have a natural feeling for painting, and so, of course, they naturally think that painting is an expression of the artist's mood. But it rarely is. Very often he may be in greatest despair and be painting his happiest paintings.
Francis Bacon
Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words, or in good order.
Francis Bacon
For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocence, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.
Francis Bacon
Journeys at youth are part of the education but at maturity, are part of the experience.
Francis Bacon
Base and crafty cowards are like the arrow that flieth in the dark.
Francis Bacon
The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes the wrong one.
Francis Bacon
Our humanity is a poor thing, except for the divinity that stirs within us.
Francis Bacon
The master of superstition, is the people and in all superstition, wise men follow fools and arguments are fitted to practice, in a reversed order.
Francis Bacon
It is idle to expect any great advancement in science from the superinducing and engrafting of new things upon old. We must begin anew from the very foundations, unless we would revolve for ever in a circle with mean and contemptible progress.
Francis Bacon
[Science is] the labor and handicraft of the mind.
Francis Bacon
What is truth? said jesting Pilate and would not stay for an answer.
Francis Bacon
