More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
Learning hath his infancy, when it is but beginning and almost childish then his youth, when it is luxuriant and juvenile then his strength of years, when it is solid and reduced and lastly his old age, when it waxeth dry and exhaust.
Francis Bacon
Image
The best preservative to keep the mind in health is the faithful admonition of a friend.
Francis Bacon
Image
Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
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
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
Image
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
Image
Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.
Francis Bacon
Image
When a doubt is once received, men labour rather how to keep it a doubt still, than how to solve it and accordingly bend their wits.
Francis Bacon
Image
Time is the author of authors.
Francis Bacon
Image
Dreams, and predictions of astrology....ought to serve but for winter talk by the fireside.
Francis Bacon
Image
The noblest works and foundations have proceeded from childless men, which have sought to express the images of their minds where those of their bodies have failed.
Francis Bacon
Image
My praise shall be dedicated to the mind itself. The mind is the man, and the knowledge is the mind. A man is but what he knoweth. The mind is but an accident to knowledge, for knowledge is the double of that which is.
Francis Bacon
Image
That conceit, elegantly expressed by the Emperor Charles V., in his instructions to the King, his son, that fortune hath somewhat the nature of a woman, that if she be too much wooed she is the farther off.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
That things are changed, and that nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains exactly the same, is sufficiently certain.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
There are two books laid before us to study, to prevent our falling into error first, the volume of the Scriptures, which reveal the will of God then the volume of the Creatures, which express His power.
Francis Bacon
Image
In revenge a man is but even with his enemy for it is a princely thing to pardon, and Solomon saith it is the glory of a man to pass over a transgression.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
I regret not starting to paint earlier...It is one of the few things I do regret.
Francis Bacon
