More quotes by Francis Bacon
To suffering there is a limit to fearing, none.
Francis Bacon
The zeal which begins with hypocrisy must conclude in treachery at first it deceives, at last it betrays
Francis Bacon
If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him.
Francis Bacon
They that reverence to much old times are but a scorn to the new.
Francis Bacon
The place of justice is a hallowed place.
Francis Bacon
A forbidden writing is thought to be a certain spark of truth, that flies up in the face of them who seek to tread it out.
Francis Bacon
Wonder is the seed of knowledge
Francis Bacon
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
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
The mystery lies in the irrationality by which you make appearance - if it is not irrational, you make illustration.
Francis Bacon
Cleanness of body was ever deemed to proceed from a due reverence to God.
Francis Bacon
If I might control the literature of the household, I would guarantee the well-being of Church and State.
Francis Bacon
As is the garden such is the gardener. A man's nature runs either to herbs or weeds.
Francis Bacon
There is nothing more certain in nature than that it is impossible for any body to be utterly annihilated.
Francis Bacon
Mysteries are due to secrecy.
Francis Bacon
Ask counsel of both timesof the ancient time what is best, and of the latter time what is fittest.
Francis Bacon
When I paint I am ageless, I just have the pleasure or the difficulty of painting.
Francis Bacon
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
Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words, or in good order.
Francis Bacon
Perils commonly ask to be paid in pleasures.
Francis Bacon
