More quotes by Francis Bacon
Praise is the reflection of virtue.
Francis Bacon
There is no passion in the mind of man so weak, but it mates and masters the fear of death . . . Revenge triumphs over death love slights it honor aspireth to it grief flieth to it.
Francis Bacon
Base and crafty cowards are like the arrow that flieth in the dark.
Francis Bacon
Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not but superstition dismounts all these, and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men.
Francis Bacon
Choose the life that is most useful, and habit will make it the most agreeable.
Francis Bacon
All bravery stands upon comparisons.
Francis Bacon
Great Hypocrites are the real atheists.
Francis Bacon
It cannot be that axioms established by argumentation should avail for the discovery of new works, since the subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of argument. But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active.
Francis Bacon
A good conscience is a continual feast.
Francis Bacon
Every person born in the USA is endowed with life, liberty, and a substantial share of the national debt.
Francis Bacon
I should have been, I don't know, a con-man, a robber or a prostitute. But it was vanity that made me choose painting, vanity and chance.
Francis Bacon
For first of all we must prepare a Natural and Experimental History, sufficient and good and this is the foundation of all for we are not to imagine or suppose, but to discover, what nature does or may be made to do.
Francis Bacon
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
The mystery lies in the irrationality by which you make appearance - if it is not irrational, you make illustration.
Francis Bacon
Great boldness is seldom without some absurdity.
Francis Bacon
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience.
Francis Bacon
It was a high speech of Seneca that The good things which belong to prosperity are to be wished, but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Francis Bacon
A lie faces God and shrinks from man.
Francis Bacon
Human knowledge and human power meet in one for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.
Francis Bacon
The breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air than in the hand.
Francis Bacon
