More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not but superstition dismounts all these, and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men.
Francis Bacon
Image
Because the acts or events of true history have not that magnitude which satisfieth the mind of man, poesy feigneth acts and events greater and more heroical.
Francis Bacon
Image
It has well been said that the arch-flatterer, with whom all petty flatterers have intelligence, is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
Image
The remedy is worse than the disease.
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
There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.
Francis Bacon
Image
More dangers have deceived men than forced them.
Francis Bacon
Image
Religion brought forth riches, and the daughter devoured the mother.
Francis Bacon
Image
Men ought to find the difference between saltiness and bitterness. Certainly, he that hath a satirical vein, as he maketh others afraid of his wit, so he had need be afraid of others' memory.
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
Disciples do owe their masters only a temporary belief, and a suspension of their own judgment till they be fully instructed.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is nothing makes a man suspect much, more than to know little, and therefore men should remedy suspicion by procuring to know more, and not keep their suspicions in smother.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
I'm just trying to make images as accurately as possible off my nervous system as I can.
Francis Bacon
Image
God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.
Francis Bacon
Image
They that reverence to much old times are but a scorn to the new.
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

Those that want friends to open themselves unto are cannibals of their own hearts.
