Journeys at youth are part of the education but at maturity, are part of the experience.
Francis Bacon
Boldness is a child of ignorance
Francis Bacon
But I account the use that a man should seek of the publishing of his own writings before his death, to be but an untimely anticipation of that which is proper to follow a man, and not to go along with him.
Francis Bacon
He that seeketh to be eminent amongst able men hath a great task but that is ever good for the public. But he that plots to be the only figure amongst ciphers is the decay of a whole age.
Francis Bacon
He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils for time is the greatest innovator.
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
Dreams, and predictions of astrology....ought to serve but for winter talk by the fireside.
Francis Bacon
Innovations, which are the births of time.
Francis Bacon
The rising unto place is laborious, and by pains men come to greater pains and it is sometimes base, and by indignities men come to dignities. The standing is slippery, and the regress is either a downfall, or at least an eclipse.
Francis Bacon
Since custom is the principal magistrate of man's life, let men by all means endeavor to obtain good customs.
Francis Bacon
If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him.
Francis Bacon
Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves the insects are eating each other violence is a part of life.
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
The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness , of fear and pleasure it's a little like making love, the physical act of love.
Francis Bacon
Some artists leave remarkable things which, a 100 years later, don't work at all. I have left my mark my work is hung in museums, but maybe one day the Tate Gallery or the other museums will banish me to the cellar... you never know.
Francis Bacon
Death is a friend of ours and he that is not ready to entertain him is not at home.
Francis Bacon
My praise shall be dedicated to the mind itself. The mind is the man, and the knowledge is the mind. A man is but what he knoweth. The mind is but an accident to knowledge, for knowledge is the double of that which is.
Francis Bacon
Salomon saith, There is no new thing upon the earth. So that as Plato had an imagination, that all knowledge was but remembrance so Salomon giveth his sentence, that all novelty is but oblivion.
Francis Bacon
Religion brought forth riches, and the daughter devoured the mother.
Francis Bacon
Suspicion amongst thoughts are like bats amongst birds, they never fly by twilight.
Francis Bacon
