The mystery lies in the irrationality by which you make appearance - if it is not irrational, you make illustration.
Francis Bacon
Image
Virtue is like precious odours,-most fragrant when they are incensed or crushed.
Francis Bacon
Image
The virtue of prosperity is temperance the virtue of adversity is fortitude.
Francis Bacon
Image
In charity there is no excess.
Francis Bacon
Image
It cannot be that axioms established by argumentation should avail for the discovery of new works, since the subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of argument. But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active.
Francis Bacon
Image
Let no one think or maintain that a person can search too far or be too well studied in either the book of God's word or the book of God's works.
Francis Bacon
Image

It is a miserable state of mind to have few things to desire and many things to fear.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.
Francis Bacon
Image
We are much beholden to Machiavel and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do.
Francis Bacon
Image
If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill.
Francis Bacon
Image
He that will not apply new remedies, must expect new evils: for Time is the greatest innovator: and if Time, of course, alter things to the worse, and wisdom and counsel shall not alter them to the better, what shall be the end?.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nothing doth so much keep men out of the Church, and drive men out of the Church, as breach of unity.
Francis Bacon
Image
It was prettily devised of Aesop, The fly sat on the axle tree of the chariot wheel and said, what dust do I raise!
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
All colours will agree in the dark.
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
A man cannot speak to his son, but as a father to his wife, but as a husband to his enemy, but upon terms: whereas a friend may speak, as the case requires, and not as it sorteth with the person.
