More quotes by Francis Bacon
Reading maketh a full man and writing an axact man. And, therefore, if a man write little, he need have a present wit and if he read little, he need have much cunning to seem to know which he doth not.
Francis Bacon
Praise is the reflection of virtue.
Francis Bacon
Nothing is to be feared but fear.
Francis Bacon
A man who contemplates revenge keeps his wounds green.
Francis Bacon
The momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or evil.
Francis Bacon
Philosophy when superficially studied, excites doubt, when thoroughly explored, it dispels it.
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 natures and dispositions of men are, not without truth, distinguished from the predominance of the planets.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
As you work, the mood grows on you. There are certain images which suddenly get hold of me and I really want to do them. But it's true to say that the excitement and possibilities are in the working and obviously can only come in the working.
Francis Bacon
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
He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils for time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
Francis Bacon
He of whom many are afraid ought himself to fear many.
Francis Bacon
The ill and unfit choice of words wonderfully obstructs the understanding.
Francis Bacon
There is no greater wisdom than well to time the beginnings and onsets of things.
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
To suffering there is a limit to fearing, none.
Francis Bacon
For friends... do but look upon good Books: they are true friends, that will neither flatter nor dissemble.
Francis Bacon
A little science estranges a man from God a lot of science brings him back.
Francis Bacon
