We see then how far the monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands. For have not the verses of Homer continued twenty-five hundred years or more, without the loss of a syllable or letter during which time infinite palaces, temples, castles, cities have been decayed and demolished?
Francis Bacon
Image
I had rather believe all the Fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a Mind.
Francis Bacon
Image
Houses are built to live in, and not to look on: therefore let use be preferred before uniformity.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.
Francis Bacon
Image
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.
Francis Bacon
Image
O life! An age to the miserable, a moment to the happy.
Francis Bacon

The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no secrecy comparable to celerity.
Francis Bacon
Image
There are many wise men that have secret hearts and transparent countenances.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is in human nature generally more of the fool than of the wise.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
If you can talk about it, why paint it?
Francis Bacon
Image
Be so true to thyself, as thou be not false to others.
Francis Bacon
Image
Riches are a good hand maiden, but a poor mistress.
Francis Bacon
Image
In one and the same fire, clay grows hard and wax melts.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
But men must know, that in this theatre of man's life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
The human understanding is no dry light, but receives an infusion from the will and affections... What a man had rather were true he more readily believes.
Francis Bacon
Image
Out of monuments, names, words proverbs ...and the like, we do save and recover somewhat from the deluge of time.
