More quotes by Francis Bacon
There is a cunning which we in England call the turning of the cat in the pan which is, when that which a man says to another, he says it as if another had said it to him.
Francis Bacon
I had rather believe all the Fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a Mind.
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
Much bending breaks the bow much unbending the mind.
Francis Bacon
There is no secrecy comparable to celerity.
Francis Bacon
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Francis Bacon
Opportunity makes a thief.
Francis Bacon
Praise is the reflection of virtue.
Francis Bacon
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
There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
No man's fortune can be an end worthy of his being.
Francis Bacon
We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.
Francis Bacon
Some paint comes across directly onto the nervous system and other paint tells you the story in a long diatribe through the brain.
Francis Bacon
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
Of all virtues and dignities of the mind, goodness is the greatest, being the character of the Deity and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing.
Francis Bacon
Art is man added to Nature.
Francis Bacon
The genius of any single man can no more equal learning, than a private purse hold way with the exchequer.
Francis Bacon
Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things
Francis Bacon
I always think of myself not so much as a painter but as a medium for accident and chance.
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
