More quotes by Francis Bacon
Good fame is like fire when you have kindled you may easily preserve it but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again.
Francis Bacon
Rebellions of the belly are the worst.
Francis Bacon
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
You can't be more horrific than life itself.
Francis Bacon
Nothing is more pleasant to the eye than green grass kept finely shorn.
Francis Bacon
A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.
Francis Bacon
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
In every great time there is some one idea at work which is more powerful than any other, and which shapes the events of the time and determines their ultimate issues.
Francis Bacon
The genius of any single man can no more equal learning, than a private purse hold way with the exchequer.
Francis Bacon
Believing that I was born for the service of mankind, and regarding the care of the commonwealth as a kind of common property which, like the air and the water, belongs to everybody, I set myself to consider in what way mankind might be best served, and what service I was myself best fitted by nature to perform.
Francis Bacon
Religion brought forth riches, and the daughter devoured the mother.
Francis Bacon
Upon a given body to generate and superinduce a new nature or new natures is the work and aim of human power. To discover the Form of a given nature, or its true difference, or its causal nature, or fount of its emanation... this is the work and aim of human knowledge.
Francis Bacon
In all superstition wise men follow fools.
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
Great art is always a way of concentrating, reinventing what is called fact, what we know of our existence- a reconcentration… tearing away the veils, the attitudes people acquire of their time and earlier time. Really good artists tear down those veils
Francis Bacon
Reading maketh a full man.
Francis Bacon
Of all the things in nature, the formation and endowment of man was singled out by the ancients.
Francis Bacon
A good name is like precious ointment it filleth all round about, and will not easily away for the odors of ointments are more durable than those of flowers.
Francis Bacon
Friends are thieves of time.
Francis Bacon
Choose the life that is most useful, and habit will make it the most agreeable.
Francis Bacon
