Image
It is in life as it is in ways, the shortest way is commonly the foulest, and surely the fairer way is not much about.
Francis Bacon
Image
The wonder of a single snowflake outweighs the wisdom of a million meteorologists.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.
Francis Bacon
Image
Princes are like heavenly bodies, which cause good or evil times, and which have much veneration, but no rest.
Francis Bacon
Image

Francis Bacon
Image
The poets did well to conjoin music and medicine, in Apollo, because the office of medicine is but to tune the curious harp of man's body and reduce it to harmony.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nothing doth so much keep men out of the Church, and drive men out of the Church, as breach of unity.

Image
What is truth? said jesting Pilate and would not stay for an answer.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no secrecy comparable to celerity.

Francis Bacon
Image
God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.
Francis Bacon
Image
The cause and root of nearly all evils in the sciences is this-that while we falsely admire and extol the powers of the human mind we neglect to seek for its true helps.
Francis Bacon
Image
A principal fruit of friendship, is the ease and discharge of the fullness and swellings of the heart, which passions of all kinds do cause and induce.
Francis Bacon
Image
We rise to great heights by a winding staircase of small steps.
Francis Bacon
Image
The desire of excessive power caused the angels to fall the desire of knowledge caused men to fall.
Francis Bacon
Image
Philosophy when superficially studied, excites doubt, when thoroughly explored, it dispels it.
Francis Bacon
Image
The bee enclosed and through the amber shown Seems buried in the juice which was his own.
Francis Bacon
Image
But the images of men's wits and knowledges remain in books, exempted from the wrong of time, and capable of perpetual renovation.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is another ground of hope that must not be omitted. Let men but think over their infinite expenditure of understanding, time, and means on matters and pursuits of far less use and value whereof, if but a small part were directed to sound and solid studies, there is no difficulty that might not be overcome.
Francis Bacon
