More quotes by Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Nuptial love makes mankind friendly love perfects it but wanton love corrupts and debases it.
Francis Bacon
Many a man's strength is in opposition, and when he faileth, he grows out of use.
Francis Bacon
The genius of any single man can no more equal learning, than a private purse hold way with the exchequer.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Fortune makes him fool, whom she makes her darling.
Francis Bacon
I want to make portraits and images. I don't know how. Out of despair, I just use paint anyway. Suddenly the things you make coagulate and take on just the shape you intend. Totally accurate marks, which are outside representational marks.
Francis Bacon
To suffering there is a limit to fearing, none.
Francis Bacon
The correlative to loving our neighbors as ourselves is hating ourselves as we hate our neighbors.
Francis Bacon
Come home to men's business and bosoms.
Francis Bacon
Such philosophy as shall not vanish in the fume of subtile, sublime, or delectable speculation but shall be operative to the endowment and betterment of man's life.
Francis Bacon
They are happy men whose natures sort with their vocations.
Francis Bacon
It is a strange desire, to seek power, and to lose liberty or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
Francis Bacon
When any of the four pillars of government-religion, justice, counsel, and treasure-are mainly shaken or weakened, men had need to pray for fair weather.
Francis Bacon
