Image
Come home to men's business and bosoms.
Francis Bacon
Image
If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics.
Francis Bacon
Image
Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not but superstition dismounts all these, and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men.
Francis Bacon
Image
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
Francis Bacon
Image
All will come out in the washing.
Francis Bacon
Image
By indignities men come to dignities.
Francis Bacon
Image
But the images of men's wits and knowledges remain in books, exempted from the wrong of time, and capable of perpetual renovation.
Francis Bacon
Image
Images also help me find and realise ideas. I look at hundreds of very different, contrasting images and I pinch details from them, rather like people who eat from other people`s plates.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
Whence we see spiders, flies, or ants entombed and preserved forever in amber, a more than royal tomb.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is a good point of cunning for a man to shape the answer he would have in his own words and propositions, for it makes the other party stick the less.
Francis Bacon
Image
Revenge is a kind of wild justice.
Francis Bacon
Image
Men ought to find the difference between saltiness and bitterness. Certainly, he that hath a satirical vein, as he maketh others afraid of his wit, so he had need be afraid of others' memory.
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
There is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
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
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Francis Bacon
Image
Gardening is the purest of human pleasures.
Francis Bacon
Image
A little science estranges a man from God a lot of science brings him back.
Francis Bacon
Image
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience.
Francis Bacon
