Again there is another great and powerful cause why the sciences have made but little progress which is this. It is not possible to run a course aright when the goal itself has not been rightly placed.

More quotes by Francis Bacon
The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness.
Francis Bacon
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
There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.
Francis Bacon
He of whom many are afraid ought himself to fear many.
Francis Bacon
For first of all we must prepare a Natural and Experimental History, sufficient and good and this is the foundation of all for we are not to imagine or suppose, but to discover, what nature does or may be made to do.
Francis Bacon
Believe not much them that seem to despise riches, for they despise them that despair of them.
Francis Bacon
Many a man's strength is in opposition, and when he faileth, he grows out of use.
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
The human understanding is no dry light, but receives an infusion from the will and affections... What a man had rather were true he more readily believes.
Francis Bacon
Great Hypocrites are the real atheists.
Francis Bacon
Rebellions of the belly are the worst.
Francis Bacon
[Science is] the labor and handicraft of the mind.
Francis Bacon
All superstition is much the same whether it be that of astrology, dreams, omen, retributive judgment, or the like, in all of which the deluded believers observe events which are fulfilled, but neglect and pass over their failure, though it be much more common.
Francis Bacon
Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried, or childless men.
Francis Bacon
If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again.
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
Laws and Institutions Must Go Hand in Hand with the Progress of the Human Mind.
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
Nakedness is uncomely, as well in mind as body, and it addeth no small reverence to men's manners and actions if they be not altogether open. Therefore set it down: That a habit of secrecy is both politic and moral.
Francis Bacon
In all superstition wise men follow fools.
Francis Bacon
