Francis Bacon
Image
Seek ye first the good things of the mind, and the rest will either be supplied or its loss will not be felt.
Francis Bacon
Image
Man seeketh in society comfort, use and protection.

Francis Bacon
Image
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is in human nature generally more of the fool than of the wise.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
Truth comes out of error more readily than out of confusion.
Francis Bacon
Image
Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the Infinite.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
Some paint comes across directly onto the nervous system and other paint tells you the story in a long diatribe through the brain.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
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
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
All good moral philosophy is ... but the handmaid to religion.
Francis Bacon
Image
A little science estranges a man from God a lot of science brings him back.
