More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.
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
A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
Chiefly the mold of a man's fortune is in his own hands.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is impossible to love and to be wise.
Francis Bacon
Image
The divisions of science are not like different lines that meet in one angle, but rather like the branches of trees that join in one trunk.
Francis Bacon
Image
The fortune which nobody sees makes a person happy and unenvied.
Francis Bacon
Image
To spend too much time in studies is sloth to use them too much for ornament is affection to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar.
Francis Bacon
Image
As is the garden such is the gardener. A man's nature runs either to herbs or weeds.
Francis Bacon
Image
People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.
Francis Bacon
Image
All authority must be out of a man's self, turned . . . either upon an art, or upon a man.
Francis Bacon
Image
He that gives good advice, builds with one hand he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.
Francis Bacon
Image
When Christ came into the world, peace was sung and when He went out of the world, peace was bequeathed.
Francis Bacon
Image
Boldness is a child of ignorance
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
Image
Suspicion amongst thoughts are like bats amongst birds, they never fly by twilight.
Francis Bacon
Image
Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not but superstition dismounts all these, and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men.
Francis Bacon
Image
Cleanness of body was ever deemed to proceed from a due reverence to God.
Francis Bacon
Image
Base and crafty cowards are like the arrow that flieth in the dark.
Francis Bacon
