Learning teaches how to carry things in suspense, without prejudice, till you resolve it.
Francis Bacon
Image
By indignities men come to dignities.
Francis Bacon
Image
But this is that which will dignify and exalt knowledge: if contemplation and action be more nearly and straitly conjoined and united together than they have been: a conjunction like unto that of the highest planets, Saturn, the planet of rest and contemplation, and Jupiter, the planet of civil society and action.
Francis Bacon

I loathe my own face, and I've done self-portraits because I've had nobody else to do.
Francis Bacon

...neither is it possible to discover the more remote and deeper parts of any science, if you stand but upon the level of the same science, and ascend not to a higher science.
Francis Bacon
Image
Velazquez found the perfect balance between the ideal illustration which he was required to produce, and the overwhelming emotion he aroused in the spectator.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.
Francis Bacon
Image
Religion brought forth riches, and the daughter devoured the mother.
Francis Bacon
Image
Why should I be angry with a man for loving himself better than me?
Francis Bacon
Image
To be free minded and cheerfully disposed at hours of meat and sleep and of exercise is one of the best precepts of long lasting.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nothing doth so much keep men out of the Church, and drive men out of the Church, as breach of unity.
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
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.
