More quotes by Francis Bacon
Certainly virtue is like precious odors, most fragrant when they are incensed, or crushed: for prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue.
Francis Bacon
Much bending breaks the bow much unbending the mind.
Francis Bacon
Medical men do not know the drugs they use, nor their prices.
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
I hold every man a debtor to his profession from the which as men of course do seek to receive countenance and profit, so ought they of duty to endeavor themselves, by way of amends, to be a help and ornament thereunto.
Francis Bacon
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
The general root of superstition is that men observe when things hit, and not when they miss, and commit to memory the one, and pass over the other.
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
Painting gave meaning to my life which without it would not have had
Francis Bacon
The folly of one man is the fortune of another.
Francis Bacon
It is a good point of cunning for a man to shape the answer he would have in his own words and propositions, for it makes the other party stick the less.
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
It is rightly laid down that 'true knowledge is knowledge by causes'. Also the establishment of four causes is not bad: material, formal, efficient and final.
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
Mark what a generosity and courage (a dog) will put on when he finds himself maintained by a man, who to him is instead of a God
Francis Bacon
We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.
Francis Bacon
If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics.
Francis Bacon
Truth is a good dog but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out.
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 superstition in avoiding superstition.
Francis Bacon
