More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
Journeys at youth are part of the education but at maturity, are part of the experience.
Francis Bacon
Image
It cannot be that axioms established by argumentation should avail for the discovery of new works, since the subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of argument. But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active.
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
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
Image
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no greater wisdom than well to time the beginnings and onsets of things.
Francis Bacon
Image
I should have been, I don't know, a con-man, a robber or a prostitute. But it was vanity that made me choose painting, vanity and chance.
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
Time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
Image
Money is a good servant, a dangerous master.
Francis Bacon
Image
He that seeketh to be eminent amongst able men hath a great task but that is ever good for the public. But he that plots to be the only figure amongst ciphers is the decay of a whole age.
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
Our humanity is a poor thing, except for the divinity that stirs within us.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
Gardening is the purest of human pleasures.
Francis Bacon
Image
The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes the wrong one.
Francis Bacon
Image
He of whom many are afraid ought himself to fear many.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man's own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health.
Francis Bacon
Image
But we are not dedicating or building any Capitol or Pyramid to human Pride, but found a holy temple in the human Intellect, on the model of the Universe... For whatever is worthy of Existence is worthy of Knowledge-which is the Image (or Echo) of Existence.
Francis Bacon
Image
Defer not charities till death for certainly, if a man weigh it rightly, he that doth so is rather liberal of another man's than of his own.
Francis Bacon
