More quotes by 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
A little science estranges a man from God a lot of science brings him back.
Francis Bacon
Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried, or childless men.
Francis Bacon
Salomon saith, There is no new thing upon the earth. So that as Plato had an imagination, that all knowledge was but remembrance so Salomon giveth his sentence, that all novelty is but oblivion.
Francis Bacon
The divisions of science are not like different lines that meet in one angle, but rather like the branches of trees that join in one trunk.
Francis Bacon
There is no greater wisdom than well to time the beginnings and onsets of things.
Francis Bacon
Of all things known to mortals, wine is the most powerful and effectual for exciting and inflaming the passions of mankind, being common fuel to them all.
Francis Bacon
I would like, in my arbitrary way, to bring one nearer to the actual human being.
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
The wonder of a single snowflake outweighs the wisdom of a million meteorologists.
Francis Bacon
A picture should be a re-creation of an event rather than an illustration of an object but there is no tension in the picture unless there is a struggle with the object.
Francis Bacon
The doctrines of religion are resolved into carefulness carefulness into vigorousness vigorousness into guiltlessness guiltlessness into abstemiousness abstemiousness into cleanliness cleanliness into godliness.
Francis Bacon
The place of justice is a hallowed place.
Francis Bacon
A good name is like precious ointment it filleth all round about, and will not easily away for the odors of ointments are more durable than those of flowers.
Francis Bacon
I confess that I have as vast contemplative ends, as I have moderate civil ends: for I have taken all knowledge to be my province.
Francis Bacon
It is the wisdom of the crocodiles, that shed tears when they would devour.
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 serpent if it wants to become the dragon must eat itself.
Francis Bacon
Every person born in the USA is endowed with life, liberty, and a substantial share of the national debt.
Francis Bacon
I paint for myself. I don't know how to do anything else, anyway. Also I have to earn my living, and occupy myself.
Francis Bacon
