More quotes by Francis Bacon
Man was formed for society.
Francis Bacon
For many parts of Nature can neither be invented with sufficient subtlety, nor demonstrated with sufficient perspicuity, nor accommodated unto use with sufficient dexterity, without the aid and intervening of the mathematics, of which sort are perspective, music, astronomy, cosmography, architecture, engineery, and divers others.
Francis Bacon
Spouses are great impediments to great enterprises.
Francis Bacon
For friends... do but look upon good Books: they are true friends, that will neither flatter nor dissemble.
Francis Bacon
The desire of excessive power caused the angels to fall the desire of knowledge caused men to fall.
Francis Bacon
You want accuracy, but not representation. If you know how to make the figuration, it doesn't work. Anything you can make, you make by accident. In painting, you have to know what you do, not how, when you do it.
Francis Bacon
Nature is often hidden, sometimes overcome, seldom extinguished.
Francis Bacon
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.
Francis Bacon
Nothing doth so much keep men out of the Church, and drive men out of the Church, as breach of unity.
Francis Bacon
Without friends the world is but a wilderness.
Francis Bacon
All bravery stands upon comparisons.
Francis Bacon
Great Hypocrites are the real atheists.
Francis Bacon
There was never miracle wrought by God to convert an atheist, because the light of nature might have led him to confess a God.
Francis Bacon
I would live to study, not study to live.
Francis Bacon
For a crowd is not company and faces are but a gallery of pictures and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.
Francis Bacon
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon
The natures and dispositions of men are, not without truth, distinguished from the predominance of the planets.
Francis Bacon
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
If you want to convey fact, this can only ever be done through a form of distortion. You must distort to transform what is called appearance into image.
Francis Bacon
If I might control the literature of the household, I would guarantee the well-being of Church and State.
Francis Bacon
