More quotes by Francis Bacon
Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
Francis Bacon
Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things
Francis Bacon
We see then how far the monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands. For have not the verses of Homer continued twenty-five hundred years or more, without the loss of a syllable or letter during which time infinite palaces, temples, castles, cities have been decayed and demolished?
Francis Bacon
There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.
Francis Bacon
It is a strange desire, to seek power, and to lose liberty or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
Francis Bacon
It is natural to die as to be born.
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
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
The folly of one man is the fortune of another.
Francis Bacon
I work for posterity, these things requiring ages for their accomplishment.
Francis Bacon
Whence we see spiders, flies, or ants entombed and preserved forever in amber, a more than royal tomb.
Francis Bacon
A principal fruit of friendship, is the ease and discharge of the fullness and swellings of the heart, which passions of all kinds do cause and induce.
Francis Bacon
But the best demonstration by far is experience, if it go not beyond the actual experiment.
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
The genius of any single man can no more equal learning, than a private purse hold way with the exchequer.
Francis Bacon
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
Francis Bacon
Praise is the reflection of virtue.
Francis Bacon
Riches are for spending.
Francis Bacon
I don't believe art is available it's rare and curious and should be completely isolated one is more aware of its magic the more it is isolated.
Francis Bacon
That conceit, elegantly expressed by the Emperor Charles V., in his instructions to the King, his son, that fortune hath somewhat the nature of a woman, that if she be too much wooed she is the farther off.
Francis Bacon
