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.

More quotes by Francis Bacon
Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.
Francis Bacon
A bachelor's life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner.
Francis Bacon
Human knowledge and human power meet in one for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.
Francis Bacon
Truth is a good dog but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out.
Francis Bacon
I loathe my own face, and I've done self-portraits because I've had nobody else to do.
Francis Bacon
It was a high speech of Seneca that The good things which belong to prosperity are to be wished, but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Francis Bacon
Nakedness is uncomely, as well in mind as body, and it addeth no small reverence to men's manners and actions if they be not altogether open. Therefore set it down: That a habit of secrecy is both politic and moral.
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 wonder of a single snowflake outweighs the wisdom of a million meteorologists.
Francis Bacon
Next to religion, let your care be to promote justice.
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
Of all the things in nature, the formation and endowment of man was singled out by the ancients.
Francis Bacon
The noblest works and foundations have proceeded from childless men, which have sought to express the images of their minds where those of their bodies have failed.
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
There are two books laid before us to study, to prevent our falling into error first, the volume of the Scriptures, which reveal the will of God then the volume of the Creatures, which express His power.
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
For many parts of Nature can neither be invented with sufficient subtlety, nor demonstrated with sufficient perspicuity, nor accommodated unto use with sufficient dexterity, without the aid and intervening of the mathematics, of which sort are perspective, music, astronomy, cosmography, architecture, engineery, and divers others.
Francis Bacon
Painting gave meaning to my life which without it would not have had
Francis Bacon
Nothing is terrible except fear itself.
Francis Bacon
Princes are like heavenly bodies, which cause good or evil times, and which have much veneration, but no rest.
Francis Bacon
