More quotes by Francis Bacon
Jesus would have been one of the best photographers that ever existed. He was always looking at the beauty of people souls. In fact Jesus was constantly making pictures of God in people's life by looking at their souls and exposing them to his light.
Francis Bacon
The folly of one man is the fortune of another.
Francis Bacon
There is no greater wisdom than well to time the beginnings and onsets of things.
Francis Bacon
There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.
Francis Bacon
It is good discretion not make too much of any man at the first because one cannot hold out that proportion.

...neither is it possible to discover the more remote and deeper parts of any science, if you stand but upon the level of the same science, and ascend not to a higher science.
Francis Bacon
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.
Francis Bacon

It is the wisdom of the crocodiles, that shed tears when they would devour.
Francis Bacon
The rising unto place is laborious, and by pains men come to greater pains and it is sometimes base, and by indignities men come to dignities. The standing is slippery, and the regress is either a downfall, or at least an eclipse.
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
To be free minded and cheerfully disposed at hours of meat and sleep and of exercise is one of the best precepts of long lasting.
Francis Bacon
A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.
Francis Bacon
Upon a given body to generate and superinduce a new nature or new natures is the work and aim of human power. To discover the Form of a given nature, or its true difference, or its causal nature, or fount of its emanation... this is the work and aim of human knowledge.
Francis Bacon
What is truth? said jesting Pilate and would not stay for an answer.
Francis Bacon
Riches are for spending.
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
