More quotes by Francis Bacon
Generally, youth is like the first cogitations, not so wise as the second. For there is a youth in thoughts, as well as in ages. And yet the invention of young men, is more lively than that of old and imaginations stream into their minds better, and, as it were, more divinely.
Francis Bacon
We rise to great heights by a winding staircase of small steps.
Francis Bacon
My painting is not violent, it's life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.
Francis Bacon
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
Love and envy make a man pine, which other affections do not, because they are not so continual.
Francis Bacon
It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.
Francis Bacon
If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill.
Francis Bacon
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Francis Bacon
I don't think people are born artists I think it comes from a mixture of your surroundings, the people you meet, and luck.
Francis Bacon
The person is a poor judge who by an action can be disgraced more in failing than they can be honored in succeeding.
Francis Bacon
He that will not apply new remedies, must expect new evils: for Time is the greatest innovator: and if Time, of course, alter things to the worse, and wisdom and counsel shall not alter them to the better, what shall be the end?.
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
If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
Francis Bacon
We are much beholden to Machiavel and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do.
Francis Bacon
A man finds himself seven years older the day after his marriage.
Francis Bacon
A lie faces God and shrinks from man.
Francis Bacon
The best armor is to keep out of gunshot.
Francis Bacon
Truth is a good dog but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out.
Francis Bacon
Men ought to find the difference between saltiness and bitterness. Certainly, he that hath a satirical vein, as he maketh others afraid of his wit, so he had need be afraid of others' memory.
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
