More quotes by Francis Bacon
The dignity of this end of endowment of man's life with new commodity appeareth by the estimation that antiquity made of such as guided thereunto for whereas founders of states, lawgivers, extirpators of tyrants, fathers of the people, were honoured but with the titles of demigods, inventors ere ever consecrated among the gods themselves.
Francis Bacon
There is no vice that doth so cover a man with shame as to be found false and perfidious.
Francis Bacon
If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again.
Francis Bacon
Base and crafty cowards are like the arrow that flieth in the dark.
Francis Bacon
Riches are for spending, and spending for honor and good actions therefore extraordinary expense must be limited by the worth of the occasion.
Francis Bacon
Houses are built to live in, and not to look on: therefore let use be preferred before uniformity.
Francis Bacon
The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes the wrong one.
Francis Bacon
I hold every man a debtor to his profession.
Francis Bacon
All will come out in the washing.
Francis Bacon
Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
Francis Bacon
The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness , of fear and pleasure it's a little like making love, the physical act of love.
Francis Bacon
First the amendment of their own minds. For the removal of the impediments of the mind will sooner clear the passages of fortune than the obtaining fortune will remove the impediments of the mind.
Francis Bacon
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon
We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.
Francis Bacon
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
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
As is the garden such is the gardener. A man's nature runs either to herbs or weeds.
Francis Bacon
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
If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
Francis Bacon
The pencil of the Holy Ghost hath labored more in describing the afflictions of Job than the felicities of Solomon.
Francis Bacon
