More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
States, as great engines, move slowly.
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.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man's judgment
Francis Bacon
Image
Houses are built to live in, and not to look on: therefore let use be preferred before uniformity.
Francis Bacon
Image
Because the acts or events of true history have not that magnitude which satisfieth the mind of man, poesy feigneth acts and events greater and more heroical.
Francis Bacon
Image
More dangers have deceived men than forced them.
Francis Bacon
Image
No man's fortune can be an end worthy of his being.
Francis Bacon
Image
It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.
Francis Bacon
Image
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon
Image
Certainly, it is heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.
Francis Bacon
Image
The breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air than in the hand.
Francis Bacon
Image
Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.
Francis Bacon
Image
There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.
Francis Bacon
Image
I would live to study, not study to live.
Francis Bacon
Image
I always think of myself not so much as a painter but as a medium for accident and chance.
Francis Bacon
Image
Every person born in the USA is endowed with life, liberty, and a substantial share of the national debt.
Francis Bacon
Image
I'm just trying to make images as accurately as possible off my nervous system as I can.
Francis Bacon
Image
I had rather believe all the Fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a Mind.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is a miserable state of mind to have few things to desire and many things to fear.
Francis Bacon
Image
For knowledge, too, is itself power.
Francis Bacon
