Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils for time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
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
It is madness and a contradiction to expect that things which were never yet performed should be effected, except by means hitherto untried.
Francis Bacon
The divisions of science are not like different lines that meet in one angle, but rather like the branches of trees that join in one trunk.
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
Lukewarm persons think they may accommodate points of religion by middle ways and witty reconcilements,--as if they would make an arbitrament between God and man.
Francis Bacon
Be so true to thyself, as thou be not false to others.
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
