More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
He that will not apply new remedies, must expect new evils: for Time is the greatest innovator: and if Time, of course, alter things to the worse, and wisdom and counsel shall not alter them to the better, what shall be the end?.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nothing opens the heart like a true friend, to whom you may impart griefs, joys, fears, hopes...and whatever lies upon the heart.
Francis Bacon
Image
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Francis Bacon
Image
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.
Francis Bacon
Image
The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes the wrong one.
Francis Bacon
Image
As you work, the mood grows on you. There are certain images which suddenly get hold of me and I really want to do them. But it's true to say that the excitement and possibilities are in the working and obviously can only come in the working.
Francis Bacon
Image
Truth comes out of error more readily than out of confusion.
Francis Bacon
Image
Our humanity is a poor thing, except for the divinity that stirs within us.
Francis Bacon
Image
The master of superstition, is the people and in all superstition, wise men follow fools and arguments are fitted to practice, in a reversed order.
Francis Bacon
Image
I usually accept bribes from both sides so that tainted money can never influence my decision.
Francis Bacon
Image
I hold every man a debtor to his profession.
Francis Bacon
Image
Certainly man is of kin to the beasts by his body and if he be not kin to God by his spirit, he is a base and ignoble creature.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is idle to expect any great advancement in science from the superinducing and engrafting of new things upon old. We must begin anew from the very foundations, unless we would revolve for ever in a circle with mean and contemptible progress.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.
Francis Bacon
Image
Some men covet knowledge out of a natural curiosity and inquisitive temper some to entertain the mind with variety and delight some for ornament and reputation some for victory and contention many for lucre and a livelihood and but few for employing the Divine gift of reason to the use and benefit of mankind.
Francis Bacon
Image
The only really interesting thing is what happens between two people in a room.
Francis Bacon
Image
Good fame is like fire when you have kindled you may easily preserve it but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again.
Francis Bacon
Image
We see then how far the monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands. For have not the verses of Homer continued twenty-five hundred years or more, without the loss of a syllable or letter during which time infinite palaces, temples, castles, cities have been decayed and demolished?
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
