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

Francis Bacon
Image
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

Jesus would have been one of the best photographers that ever existed. He was always looking at the beauty of people souls. In fact Jesus was constantly making pictures of God in people's life by looking at their souls and exposing them to his light.
Francis Bacon
Image

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience.
Francis Bacon
Image
Believe not much them that seem to despise riches, for they despise them that despair of them.
Francis Bacon
Image
To spend too much time in studies is sloth to use them too much for ornament is affection to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar.
Francis Bacon
Image
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.

Why should I be angry with a man for loving himself better than me?
