A good conscience is a continual feast.
Francis Bacon
Good fame is like fire when you have kindled you may easily preserve it but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again.
Francis Bacon
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
The human understanding is no dry light, but receives an infusion from the will and affections... What a man had rather were true he more readily believes.
Francis Bacon
The dignity of this end of endowment of man's life with new commodity appeareth by the estimation that antiquity made of such as guided thereunto for whereas founders of states, lawgivers, extirpators of tyrants, fathers of the people, were honoured but with the titles of demigods, inventors ere ever consecrated among the gods themselves.
Francis Bacon
It is not the lie that passeth through the mind, but the lie that sinketh in and settleth in it, that doth the hurt.
Francis Bacon
Age appears to be best in four things old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
Francis Bacon
Reading maketh a full man and writing an axact man. And, therefore, if a man write little, he need have a present wit and if he read little, he need have much cunning to seem to know which he doth not.
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
When a doubt is once received, men labour rather how to keep it a doubt still, than how to solve it and accordingly bend their wits.
Francis Bacon
Time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
To suffering there is a limit to fearing, none.
Francis Bacon
All colours will agree in the dark.
Francis Bacon
Gardening is the purest of human pleasures.
Francis Bacon
The human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it.
Francis Bacon
Prosperity discovers vice, adversity discovers virtue.
Francis Bacon
It is in life as it is in ways, the shortest way is commonly the foulest, and surely the fairer way is not much about.
Francis Bacon
He of whom many are afraid ought himself to fear many.
Francis Bacon
Custom is the principle magistrate of man's life.
Francis Bacon
The cord breaketh at last by the weakest pull.
Francis Bacon
