More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
But we are not dedicating or building any Capitol or Pyramid to human Pride, but found a holy temple in the human Intellect, on the model of the Universe... For whatever is worthy of Existence is worthy of Knowledge-which is the Image (or Echo) of Existence.
Francis Bacon
Image
When I paint I am ageless, I just have the pleasure or the difficulty of painting.
Francis Bacon
Image
By this means we presume we have established for ever, a true and legitimate marriage between the Empirical and Rational faculty whose fastidious and unfortunate divorce and separation hath troubled and disordered the whole race and generation of mankind.
Francis Bacon
Image
I work for posterity, these things requiring ages for their accomplishment.
Francis Bacon
Image
Human knowledge and human power meet in one for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.
Francis Bacon
Image
You can't be more horrific than life itself.
Francis Bacon
Image
To say that a man lieth, is as much to say, as that he is brave towards God, and a coward towards men.
Francis Bacon
Image
It was well said that envy keeps no holidays.
Francis Bacon
Image
A forbidden writing is thought to be a certain spark of truth, that flies up in the face of them who seek to tread it out.
Francis Bacon
Image
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon
Image
Young people are fitter to invent than to judge fitter for execution than for counsel and more fit for new projects than for settled business.
Francis Bacon
Image
Great changes are easier than small ones.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the Infinite.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is madness and a contradiction to expect that things which were never yet performed should be effected, except by means hitherto untried.
Francis Bacon
Image
The first question concerning the Celestial Bodies is whether there be a system, that is whether the world or universe compose together one globe, with a center, or whether the particular globes of earth and stars be scattered dispersedly, each on its own roots, without any system or common center.
Francis Bacon
Image
Whence we see spiders, flies, or ants entombed and preserved forever in amber, a more than royal tomb.
Francis Bacon
Image
For first of all we must prepare a Natural and Experimental History, sufficient and good and this is the foundation of all for we are not to imagine or suppose, but to discover, what nature does or may be made to do.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
A man cannot speak to his son, but as a father to his wife, but as a husband to his enemy, but upon terms: whereas a friend may speak, as the case requires, and not as it sorteth with the person.
Francis Bacon
