You cannot teach a child to take care of himself unless you will let him try to take care of himself. He will make mistakes and out of these mistakes will come his wisdom.

More quotes by Francis Bacon
Praise is the reflection of virtue.
Francis Bacon
It cannot be that axioms established by argumentation should avail for the discovery of new works, since the subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of argument. But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active.
Francis Bacon
Man was formed for society.
Francis Bacon
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
A lie faces God and shrinks from man.
Francis Bacon
Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.
Francis Bacon
Wonder is the seed of knowledge
Francis Bacon
An illustrational form tells you through the intelligence immediately what the form is about, whereas a non-illustrational form works first upon sensation and then slowly leaks back into the fact.
Francis Bacon
What is truth? said jesting Pilate and would not stay for an answer.
Francis Bacon
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
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience.
Francis Bacon
It is a secret both in nature and state, that it is safer to change many things than one.
Francis Bacon
The general root of superstition is that men observe when things hit, and not when they miss, and commit to memory the one, and pass over the other.
Francis Bacon
The doctrines of religion are resolved into carefulness carefulness into vigorousness vigorousness into guiltlessness guiltlessness into abstemiousness abstemiousness into cleanliness cleanliness into godliness.
Francis Bacon
The eye of understanding is like the eye of the sense for as you may see great objects through small crannies or levels, so you may see great axioms of nature through small and contemptible instances.
Francis Bacon
It was well said that envy keeps no holidays.
Francis Bacon
If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him.
Francis Bacon
the serpent if it wants to become the dragon must eat itself.
Francis Bacon
By indignities men come to dignities.
Francis Bacon
Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried, or childless men.
Francis Bacon
