More quotes by Francis Bacon
Many a man's strength is in opposition, and when he faileth, he grows out of use.
Francis Bacon
All colours will agree in the dark.
Francis Bacon
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
Velazquez found the perfect balance between the ideal illustration which he was required to produce, and the overwhelming emotion he aroused in the spectator.
Francis Bacon
Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the Infinite.
Francis Bacon
By indignities men come to dignities.
Francis Bacon
Cure the disease and kill the patient.
Francis Bacon
Upon a given body to generate and superinduce a new nature or new natures is the work and aim of human power. To discover the Form of a given nature, or its true difference, or its causal nature, or fount of its emanation... this is the work and aim of human knowledge.
Francis Bacon
It was well said that envy keeps no holidays.
Francis Bacon
Some artists leave remarkable things which, a 100 years later, don't work at all. I have left my mark my work is hung in museums, but maybe one day the Tate Gallery or the other museums will banish me to the cellar... you never know.
Francis Bacon
My praise shall be dedicated to the mind itself. The mind is the man, and the knowledge is the mind. A man is but what he knoweth. The mind is but an accident to knowledge, for knowledge is the double of that which is.
Francis Bacon
There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
It is rightly laid down that 'true knowledge is knowledge by causes'. Also the establishment of four causes is not bad: material, formal, efficient and final.
Francis Bacon
There is superstition in avoiding superstition.
Francis Bacon
There was never miracle wrought by God to convert an atheist, because the light of nature might have led him to confess a God.
Francis Bacon
One always starts work with the subject, no matter how tenuous it is, and one constructs an artificial structure by which one can trap the reality of the subject-matter that one has started from.
Francis Bacon
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.
Francis Bacon
Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things
Francis Bacon
Nothing doth so much keep men out of the Church, and drive men out of the Church, as breach of unity.
Francis Bacon
Mark what a generosity and courage (a dog) will put on when he finds himself maintained by a man, who to him is instead of a God
