More quotes by Francis Bacon
If I might control the literature of the household, I would guarantee the well-being of Church and State.
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
There is nothing more certain in nature than that it is impossible for any body to be utterly annihilated.
Francis Bacon
If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
Francis Bacon
The dignity of this end of endowment of man's life with new commodity appeareth by the estimation that antiquity made of such as guided thereunto for whereas founders of states, lawgivers, extirpators of tyrants, fathers of the people, were honoured but with the titles of demigods, inventors ere ever consecrated among the gods themselves.
Francis Bacon
We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.
Francis Bacon
Custom is the principle magistrate of man's life.
Francis Bacon
There is no doubt but men of genius and leisure may carry our method to greater perfection, but, having had long experience, we have found none equal to it for the commodiousness it affords in working with the Understanding.
Francis Bacon
Believe not much them that seem to despise riches, for they despise them that despair of them.
Francis Bacon
Praise is the reflection of virtue.
Francis Bacon
First the amendment of their own minds. For the removal of the impediments of the mind will sooner clear the passages of fortune than the obtaining fortune will remove the impediments of the mind.
Francis Bacon
A good name is like precious ointment it filleth all round about, and will not easily away for the odors of ointments are more durable than those of flowers.
Francis Bacon
Consistency is the foundation of virtue.
Francis Bacon
The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.
Francis Bacon
If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him.
Francis Bacon
A king that would not feel his crown too heavy for him, must wear it every day but if he think it too light, he knoweth not of what metal it is made.
Francis Bacon
There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
God's first creature, which was light.
Francis Bacon
The genius, wit, and the spirit of a nation are discovered by their proverbs.
Francis Bacon
All of our actions take their hue from the complexion of the heart, as landscapes their variety from light.
Francis Bacon
