More quotes by Francis Bacon
The ill and unfit choice of words wonderfully obstructs the understanding.
Francis Bacon
Why should I be angry with a man for loving himself better than me?
Francis Bacon
Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things
Francis Bacon
He that seeketh to be eminent amongst able men hath a great task but that is ever good for the public. But he that plots to be the only figure amongst ciphers is the decay of a whole age.
Francis Bacon
Wise sayings are not only for ornament, but for action and business, having a point or edge, whereby knots in business are pierced and discovered.
Francis Bacon
Great boldness is seldom without some absurdity.
Francis Bacon
There arises from a bad and unapt formation of words a wonderful obstruction to the mind.
Francis Bacon
I work for posterity, these things requiring ages for their accomplishment.
Francis Bacon
A lie faces God and shrinks from man.
Francis Bacon
Truth comes out of error more readily than out of confusion.
Francis Bacon
The mold of our fortunes is in our own hands.
Francis Bacon
The rising unto place is laborious, and by pains men come to greater pains and it is sometimes base, and by indignities men come to dignities. The standing is slippery, and the regress is either a downfall, or at least an eclipse.
Francis Bacon
Certainly, it is heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.
Francis Bacon
Such philosophy as shall not vanish in the fume of subtile, sublime, or delectable speculation but shall be operative to the endowment and betterment of man's life.
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 always think of myself not so much as a painter but as a medium for accident and chance.
Francis Bacon
All good moral philosophy is ... but the handmaid to religion.
Francis Bacon
They are happy men whose natures sort with their vocations.
Francis Bacon
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.
Francis Bacon
Boldness is a child of ignorance
Francis Bacon
