More quotes by Francis Bacon
God hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.
Francis Bacon
The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness.
Francis Bacon
Images also help me find and realise ideas. I look at hundreds of very different, contrasting images and I pinch details from them, rather like people who eat from other people`s plates.
Francis Bacon
Generally, youth is like the first cogitations, not so wise as the second. For there is a youth in thoughts, as well as in ages. And yet the invention of young men, is more lively than that of old and imaginations stream into their minds better, and, as it were, more divinely.
Francis Bacon
Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves with facts.
Francis Bacon
Much bending breaks the bow much unbending the mind.
Francis Bacon
A king that would not feel his crown too heavy for him, must wear it every day but if he think it too light, he knoweth not of what metal it is made.
Francis Bacon
There arises from a bad and unapt formation of words a wonderful obstruction to the mind.
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
Why should a man be in love with his fetters, though of gold?
Francis Bacon
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.
Francis Bacon
It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.
Francis Bacon
It is a miserable state of mind to have few things to desire and many things to fear.
Francis Bacon
For no man can forbid the spark nor tell whence it may come.
Francis Bacon
People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.
Francis Bacon
Of all virtues and dignities of the mind, goodness is the greatest, being the character of the Deity and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing.
Francis Bacon
For many parts of Nature can neither be invented with sufficient subtlety, nor demonstrated with sufficient perspicuity, nor accommodated unto use with sufficient dexterity, without the aid and intervening of the mathematics, of which sort are perspective, music, astronomy, cosmography, architecture, engineery, and divers others.
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
Mysteries are due to secrecy.
Francis Bacon
When a doubt is once received, men labour rather how to keep it a doubt still, than how to solve it and accordingly bend their wits.
Francis Bacon
