More quotes by Francis Bacon
Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.
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
If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics.
Francis Bacon
It is impossible to love and to be wise.
Francis Bacon
Man seeketh in society comfort, use and protection.

Francis Bacon
The best preservative to keep the mind in health is the faithful admonition of a friend.
Francis Bacon
We rise to great heights by a winding staircase of small steps.
Francis Bacon
A forbidden writing is thought to be a certain spark of truth, that flies up in the face of them who seek to tread it out.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
What is truth? said jesting Pilate and would not stay for an answer.
Francis Bacon
Lies are sufficient to breed opinion, and opinion brings on substance.
Francis Bacon
I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.
Francis Bacon
You cannot teach a child to take care of himself unless you will let him try to take care of himself. He will make mistakes and out of these mistakes will come his wisdom.
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
God has, in fact, written two books, not just one. Of course, we are all familiar with the first book he wrote, namely Scripture. But he has written a second book called creation.
Francis Bacon
I confess that I have as vast contemplative ends, as I have moderate civil ends: for I have taken all knowledge to be my province.
Francis Bacon
