Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things

Francis Bacon
Image
Houses are built to live in, and not to look on: therefore let use be preferred before uniformity.
Francis Bacon
Image
It cannot be denied that outward accidents conduce much to fortune, favor, opportunity, death of others, occasion fitting virtue but chiefly, the mold of a man's fortune is in his own hands
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no secrecy comparable to celerity.
Francis Bacon
Image

Francis Bacon
Image

But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
No man's fortune can be an end worthy of his being.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
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.
