More quotes by Francis Bacon
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
Such is the way of all superstition, whether in astrology, dreams, omens, divine judgments, or the like wherein men, having a delight in such vanities, mark the events where they are fulfilled, but where they fail, though this happen much oftener.
Francis Bacon
You see, painting has now become, or all art has now become completely a game, by which man distracts himself. What is fascinating actually is, that it's going to become much more difficult for the artist, because he must really deepen the game to become any good at all.
Francis Bacon
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
Croesus said to Cambyses That peace was better than war because in peace the sons did bury their fathers, but in wars the fathers did bury their sons.
Francis Bacon
I work for posterity, these things requiring ages for their accomplishment.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
Certainly, it is heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.
Francis Bacon
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
For knowledge, too, is itself power.
Francis Bacon
There is no passion in the mind of man so weak, but it mates and masters the fear of death . . . Revenge triumphs over death love slights it honor aspireth to it grief flieth to it.
Francis Bacon
There arises from a bad and unapt formation of words a wonderful obstruction to the mind.
Francis Bacon
Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.
Francis Bacon
Many a man's strength is in opposition, and when he faileth, he grows out of use.
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
If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill.
Francis Bacon
It is in life as it is in ways, the shortest way is commonly the foulest, and surely the fairer way is not much about.
Francis Bacon
