Francis Bacon
Image
For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocence, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Image
All authority must be out of a man's self, turned . . . either upon an art, or upon a man.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils for time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
Image
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon
Image
The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses.
Francis Bacon
Image
Because the acts or events of true history have not that magnitude which satisfieth the mind of man, poesy feigneth acts and events greater and more heroical.
Francis Bacon
Image
Things alter for the worse spontaneously, if they be not altered for the better designedly.
Francis Bacon
Image
Innovations, which are the births of time.
