More quotes by Francis Bacon
All authority must be out of a man's self, turned . . . either upon an art, or upon a man.
Francis Bacon
There is no greater wisdom than well to time the beginnings and onsets of things.
Francis Bacon
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
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
In revenge a man is but even with his enemy for it is a princely thing to pardon, and Solomon saith it is the glory of a man to pass over a transgression.
Francis Bacon
Man was formed for society.
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
States, as great engines, move slowly.
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
A picture should be a re-creation of an event rather than an illustration of an object but there is no tension in the picture unless there is a struggle with the object.
Francis Bacon
Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.
Francis Bacon
Time is the author of authors.
Francis Bacon
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Francis Bacon
The Syllogism consists of propositions, propositions consist of words, words are symbols of notions. Therefore if the notions themselves (which is the root of the matter) are confused and over-hastily abstracted from the facts, there can be no firmness in the superstructure. Our only hope therefore lies in a true induction.
Francis Bacon
There are two books laid before us to study, to prevent our falling into error first, the volume of the Scriptures, which reveal the will of God then the volume of the Creatures, which express His power.
Francis Bacon
The only really interesting thing is what happens between two people in a room.
Francis Bacon
Who ever is out of patience is out of possession of their soul.
Francis Bacon
I'm just trying to make images as accurately as possible off my nervous system as I can.
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
There is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
