More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
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
Image
Princes are like heavenly bodies, which cause good or evil times, and which have much veneration, but no rest.
Francis Bacon
Image
Such philosophy as shall not vanish in the fume of subtile, sublime, or delectable speculation but shall be operative to the endowment and betterment of man's life.
Francis Bacon
Image
Those herbs which perfume the air most delightfully, not passed by as the rest, but, being trodden upon and crushed, are three that is, burnet, wild thyme and watermints. Therefore, you are to set whole alleys of them, to have the pleasure when you walk or tread.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is another ground of hope that must not be omitted. Let men but think over their infinite expenditure of understanding, time, and means on matters and pursuits of far less use and value whereof, if but a small part were directed to sound and solid studies, there is no difficulty that might not be overcome.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is madness and a contradiction to expect that things which were never yet performed should be effected, except by means hitherto untried.
Francis Bacon
Image
Why should a man be in love with his fetters, though of gold?
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It was a high speech of Seneca that The good things which belong to prosperity are to be wished, but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Francis Bacon
Image
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Francis Bacon
Image
In all superstition wise men follow fools.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
By indignities men come to dignities.
Francis Bacon
Image
If you can talk about it, why paint it?
Francis Bacon
Image
There is nothing more certain in nature than that it is impossible for any body to be utterly annihilated.
Francis Bacon
Image
Rebellions of the belly are the worst.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is good discretion not make too much of any man at the first because one cannot hold out that proportion.
Francis Bacon
Image
Why should I be angry with a man for loving himself better than me?
Francis Bacon
Image
Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words, or in good order.
Francis Bacon
