More quotes by Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
If I might control the literature of the household, I would guarantee the well-being of Church and State.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.
Francis Bacon
He that seeketh to be eminent amongst able men hath a great task but that is ever good for the public. But he that plots to be the only figure amongst ciphers is the decay of a whole age.
Francis Bacon
A lie faces God and shrinks from man.
Francis Bacon
Let no one think or maintain that a person can search too far or be too well studied in either the book of God's word or the book of God's works.
Francis Bacon
The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.
Francis Bacon
To suffering there is a limit to fearing, none.
Francis Bacon
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
