More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
My praise shall be dedicated to the mind itself. The mind is the man, and the knowledge is the mind. A man is but what he knoweth. The mind is but an accident to knowledge, for knowledge is the double of that which is.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
Money is a good servant, a dangerous master.
Francis Bacon
Image
Salomon saith, There is no new thing upon the earth. So that as Plato had an imagination, that all knowledge was but remembrance so Salomon giveth his sentence, that all novelty is but oblivion.
Francis Bacon
Image
I'll follow, as they say, for reward. He that rewards me, God reward him. If I do grow great, I'll grow less for I'll purge, and leave sack, and live cleanly, as a nobleman should do.
Francis Bacon
Image
I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.
Francis Bacon
Image
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand - and melting like a snowflake.
Francis Bacon
Image
A lie faces God and shrinks from man.
Francis Bacon
Image
The genius, wit, and the spirit of a nation are discovered by their proverbs.
Francis Bacon
Image
Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.
Francis Bacon
Image
Ask counsel of both timesof the ancient time what is best, and of the latter time what is fittest.
Francis Bacon
Image
By this means we presume we have established for ever, a true and legitimate marriage between the Empirical and Rational faculty whose fastidious and unfortunate divorce and separation hath troubled and disordered the whole race and generation of mankind.
Francis Bacon
Image
The Syllogism consists of propositions, propositions consist of words, words are symbols of notions. Therefore if the notions themselves (which is the root of the matter) are confused and over-hastily abstracted from the facts, there can be no firmness in the superstructure. Our only hope therefore lies in a true induction.
Francis Bacon
Image
But I account the use that a man should seek of the publishing of his own writings before his death, to be but an untimely anticipation of that which is proper to follow a man, and not to go along with him.
Francis Bacon
Image
Our humanity is a poor thing, except for the divinity that stirs within us.
Francis Bacon
Image
Revenge is a kind of wild justice.
Francis Bacon
Image
the serpent if it wants to become the dragon must eat itself.
Francis Bacon

Truth ... is the sovereign good of human nature.
Francis Bacon
Image
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

For knowledge, too, is itself power.
