Image
Salomon saith, There is no new thing upon the earth. So that as Plato had an imagination, that all knowledge was but remembrance so Salomon giveth his sentence, that all novelty is but oblivion.
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
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
My painting is not violent, it's life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.
Francis Bacon
Image
Man seeketh in society comfort, use and protection.
Francis Bacon
Image
In all superstition wise men follow fools.
Francis Bacon
Image
A bachelor's life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner.
Francis Bacon
Image
Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.
Francis Bacon
Image
It has well been said that the arch-flatterer, with whom all petty flatterers have intelligence, is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
Image
An illustrational form tells you through the intelligence immediately what the form is about, whereas a non-illustrational form works first upon sensation and then slowly leaks back into the fact.
Francis Bacon
Image
States are great engines moving slowly.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things
Francis Bacon
Image
A king that would not feel his crown too heavy for him, must wear it every day but if he think it too light, he knoweth not of what metal it is made.
Francis Bacon
Image
The voice of the people has about it something divine: for how otherwise can so many heads agree together as one?
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
There is no secrecy comparable to celerity.
Francis Bacon
Image
We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is rightly laid down that 'true knowledge is knowledge by causes'. Also the establishment of four causes is not bad: material, formal, efficient and final.
Francis Bacon
Image
By this means we presume we have established for ever, a true and legitimate marriage between the Empirical and Rational faculty whose fastidious and unfortunate divorce and separation hath troubled and disordered the whole race and generation of mankind.
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
