More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
The dignity of this end of endowment of man's life with new commodity appeareth by the estimation that antiquity made of such as guided thereunto for whereas founders of states, lawgivers, extirpators of tyrants, fathers of the people, were honoured but with the titles of demigods, inventors ere ever consecrated among the gods themselves.

Wonder is the seed of knowledge
Francis Bacon
Image
It is the wisdom of the crocodiles, that shed tears when they would devour.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Image

Reading maketh a full man.
Francis Bacon
Image
All authority must be out of a man's self, turned . . . either upon an art, or upon a man.
Francis Bacon
Image
States, as great engines, move slowly.
Francis Bacon
Image
Rebellions of the belly are the worst.
Francis Bacon
Image
When Christ came into the world, peace was sung and when He went out of the world, peace was bequeathed.
Francis Bacon
Image
A man cannot speak to his son, but as a father to his wife, but as a husband to his enemy, but upon terms: whereas a friend may speak, as the case requires, and not as it sorteth with the person.
Francis Bacon
Image
Laws and Institutions Must Go Hand in Hand with the Progress of the Human Mind.
Francis Bacon
Image
The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.

In charity there is no excess.
