Image
I confess that I have as vast contemplative ends, as I have moderate civil ends: for I have taken all knowledge to be my province.
Francis Bacon
Image
Atheism is rather in the lip, than in the heart of man.
Francis Bacon
Image
Next to religion, let your care be to promote justice.
Francis Bacon
Image
Lies are sufficient to breed opinion, and opinion brings on substance.

Image
The mold of our fortunes is in our own hands.
Francis Bacon
Image
We must see whether the same clock with weights will go faster at the top of a mountain or at the bottom of a mine it is probable, if the pull of the weights decreases on the mountain and increases in the mine, that the earth has real attraction.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Great boldness is seldom without some absurdity.
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.
Francis Bacon
Image
Philosophy when superficially studied, excites doubt, when thoroughly explored, it dispels it.
Francis Bacon
Image
You see, painting has now become, or all art has now become completely a game, by which man distracts himself. What is fascinating actually is, that it's going to become much more difficult for the artist, because he must really deepen the game to become any good at all.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is good discretion not make too much of any man at the first because one cannot hold out that proportion.
Francis Bacon
Image
All the crimes on earth do not destroy so many of the human race nor alienate so much property as drunkenness.
Francis Bacon
Image
The eye of understanding is like the eye of the sense for as you may see great objects through small crannies or levels, so you may see great axioms of nature through small and contemptible instances.
Francis Bacon
Image
Friends are thieves of time.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
Believe not much them that seem to despise riches, for they despise them that despair of them.
Francis Bacon
Image
Why should I be angry with a man for loving himself better than me?
Francis Bacon
Image
Rebellions of the belly are the worst.
Francis Bacon
Image
A man who contemplates revenge keeps his wounds green.
