Image
Never any knowledge was delivered in the same order it was invented.
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
There is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
Image
The breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air than in the hand.
Francis Bacon
Image
God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.
Francis Bacon
Image
Great boldness is seldom without some absurdity.
Francis Bacon
Image
God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.
Francis Bacon
Image
Disciples do owe their masters only a temporary belief, and a suspension of their own judgment till they be fully instructed.
Francis Bacon
Image
I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.
Francis Bacon
Image
Reading maketh a full man.
Francis Bacon
Image
[Science is] the labor and handicraft of the mind.
Francis Bacon
Image
Certainly virtue is like precious odors, most fragrant when they are incensed, or crushed: for prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue.
Francis Bacon
Image
The natures and dispositions of men are, not without truth, distinguished from the predominance of the planets.
Francis Bacon
Image
Some artists leave remarkable things which, a 100 years later, don't work at all. I have left my mark my work is hung in museums, but maybe one day the Tate Gallery or the other museums will banish me to the cellar... you never know.
Francis Bacon
Image
I would like, in my arbitrary way, to bring one nearer to the actual human being.
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
There is nothing makes a man suspect much, more than to know little, and therefore men should remedy suspicion by procuring to know more, and not keep their suspicions in smother.
Francis Bacon
Image
Death is a friend of ours and he that is not ready to entertain him is not at home.
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
Image
To say that a man lieth, is as much to say, as that he is brave towards God, and a coward towards men.
Francis Bacon
