Pictures and shapes are but secondary objects and please or displease only in the memory.
Francis Bacon
Those that want friends to open themselves unto are cannibals of their own hearts.
Francis Bacon
Truth ... is the sovereign good of human nature.
Francis Bacon
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Francis Bacon
The logic now in use serves rather to fix and give stability to the errors which have their foundation in commonly received notions than to help the search for truth. So it does more harm than good.
Francis Bacon
Of all the things in nature, the formation and endowment of man was singled out by the ancients.
Francis Bacon
Riches are for spending.
Francis Bacon
To suffering there is a limit to fearing, none.
Francis Bacon
The cause and root of nearly all evils in the sciences is this-that while we falsely admire and extol the powers of the human mind we neglect to seek for its true helps.
Francis Bacon
The person is a poor judge who by an action can be disgraced more in failing than they can be honored in succeeding.
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
When any of the four pillars of government-religion, justice, counsel, and treasure-are mainly shaken or weakened, men had need to pray for fair weather.
Francis Bacon
The poets did well to conjoin music and medicine, in Apollo, because the office of medicine is but to tune the curious harp of man's body and reduce it to harmony.
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
All colours will agree in the dark.
Francis Bacon
Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.
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
As is the garden such is the gardener. A man's nature runs either to herbs or weeds.
Francis Bacon
It is impossible to love and to be wise.
Francis Bacon
He that gives good advice, builds with one hand he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.
Francis Bacon
