More quotes by Francis Bacon
To say that a man lieth, is as much to say, as that he is brave towards God, and a coward towards men.
Francis Bacon
A man cannot speak to his son, but as a father to his wife, but as a husband to his enemy, but upon terms: whereas a friend may speak, as the case requires, and not as it sorteth with the person.
Francis Bacon
You see, painting has now become, or all art has now become completely a game, by which man distracts himself. What is fascinating actually is, that it's going to become much more difficult for the artist, because he must really deepen the game to become any good at all.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried, or childless men.
Francis Bacon
Natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.
Francis Bacon
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
All colours will agree in the dark.
Francis Bacon
Never any knowledge was delivered in the same order it was invented.
Francis Bacon
Cure the disease and kill the patient.
Francis Bacon
If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill.
Francis Bacon
Why should I be angry with a man for loving himself better than me?

The ill and unfit choice of words wonderfully obstructs the understanding.
Francis Bacon
