Mysteries are due to secrecy.
Francis Bacon
Painting gave meaning to my life which without it would not have had
Francis Bacon
The Syllogism consists of propositions, propositions consist of words, words are symbols of notions. Therefore if the notions themselves (which is the root of the matter) are confused and over-hastily abstracted from the facts, there can be no firmness in the superstructure. Our only hope therefore lies in a true induction.
Francis Bacon
All will come out in the washing.
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
The inquiry of truth, which is the love-making, or the wooing of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human nature.
Francis Bacon
It has well been said that the arch-flatterer, with whom all petty flatterers have intelligence, is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
I should have been, I don't know, a con-man, a robber or a prostitute. But it was vanity that made me choose painting, vanity and chance.
Francis Bacon
the serpent if it wants to become the dragon must eat itself.
Francis Bacon
Art is man added to Nature.
Francis Bacon
He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils for time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
Custom is the principle magistrate of man's life.
Francis Bacon
The virtue of prosperity is temperance the virtue of adversity is fortitude.
Francis Bacon
It cannot be that axioms established by argumentation should avail for the discovery of new works, since the subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of argument. But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active.
Francis Bacon
The remedy is worse than the disease.
Francis Bacon
A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others. For men's minds, will either feed upon their own good, or upon others' evil and who wanteth the one, will prey upon the other and whoso is out of hope, to attain to another's virtue, will seek to come at even hand, by depressing another's fortune.
Francis Bacon
That things are changed, and that nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains exactly the same, is sufficiently certain.
Francis Bacon
It is a sad fate for a man to die too well known to everybody else, and still unknown to himself.
Francis Bacon
Fortune makes him fool, whom she makes her darling.
Francis Bacon
Science is but an image of the truth.
Francis Bacon
