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

Image
In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy but in passing it over, he is superior.
Francis Bacon
Image
The virtue of prosperity is temperance the virtue of adversity is fortitude.
Francis Bacon
Image
The best armor is to keep out of gunshot.
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
A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others. For men's minds, will either feed upon their own good, or upon others' evil and who wanteth the one, will prey upon the other and whoso is out of hope, to attain to another's virtue, will seek to come at even hand, by depressing another's fortune.
Francis Bacon
Image
Because the acts or events of true history have not that magnitude which satisfieth the mind of man, poesy feigneth acts and events greater and more heroical.
Francis Bacon
Image
My painting is not violent, it's life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nothing is more pleasant to the eye than green grass kept finely shorn.
Francis Bacon
Image
Medical men do not know the drugs they use, nor their prices.
Francis Bacon
Image
For knowledge, too, is itself power.
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
I should have been, I don't know, a con-man, a robber or a prostitute. But it was vanity that made me choose painting, vanity and chance.
Francis Bacon
Image
The wonder of a single snowflake outweighs the wisdom of a million meteorologists.
Francis Bacon
Image
The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.
Francis Bacon
Image
Next to religion, let your care be to promote justice.
Francis Bacon
Image
We only have our nervous system to paint.
Francis Bacon
Image
For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocence, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.
Francis Bacon
Image
To spend too much time in studies is sloth to use them too much for ornament is affection to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar.
Francis Bacon
Image
The divisions of science are not like different lines that meet in one angle, but rather like the branches of trees that join in one trunk.
Francis Bacon
Image
For friends... do but look upon good Books: they are true friends, that will neither flatter nor dissemble.
