More quotes by Francis Bacon
Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.
Francis Bacon
Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.
Francis Bacon
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
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
It is idle to expect any great advancement in science from the superinducing and engrafting of new things upon old. We must begin anew from the very foundations, unless we would revolve for ever in a circle with mean and contemptible progress.
Francis Bacon
Believe not much them that seem to despise riches, for they despise them that despair of them.
Francis Bacon
The folly of one man is the fortune of another.
Francis Bacon
The mold of our fortunes is in our own hands.
Francis Bacon
For knowledge, too, is itself power.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Without friends the world is but a wilderness.
Francis Bacon
By indignities men come to dignities.
Francis Bacon
The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness.
Francis Bacon
We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.
Francis Bacon
The first question concerning the Celestial Bodies is whether there be a system, that is whether the world or universe compose together one globe, with a center, or whether the particular globes of earth and stars be scattered dispersedly, each on its own roots, without any system or common center.
Francis Bacon
Ask counsel of both timesof the ancient time what is best, and of the latter time what is fittest.
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
Cure the disease and kill the patient.
Francis Bacon
To say that a man lieth, is as much to say, as that he is brave towards God, and a coward towards men.
Francis Bacon
In all superstition wise men follow fools.
Francis Bacon
