More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
I work for posterity, these things requiring ages for their accomplishment.
Francis Bacon
Image
Again there is another great and powerful cause why the sciences have made but little progress which is this. It is not possible to run a course aright when the goal itself has not been rightly placed.
Francis Bacon
Image
Without friends the world is but a wilderness.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is idle to expect any great advancement in science from the superinducing and engrafting of new things upon old. We must begin anew from the very foundations, unless we would revolve for ever in a circle with mean and contemptible progress.
Francis Bacon
Image
For knowledge, too, is itself power.
Francis Bacon
Image
If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
Francis Bacon
Image
The bee enclosed and through the amber shown Seems buried in the juice which was his own.
Francis Bacon

Out of monuments, names, words proverbs ...and the like, we do save and recover somewhat from the deluge of time.
Francis Bacon

A bachelor's life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner.
Francis Bacon
Image
Friends are thieves of time.
Francis Bacon
Image
I have to hope that my instincts will do the right thing, because I can't erase what I have done. And if I drew something first, then my paintings would be illustrations of drawings.
Francis Bacon
Image
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.
Francis Bacon
Image
There arises from a bad and unapt formation of words a wonderful obstruction to the mind.
Francis Bacon
Image
Fortune makes him fool, whom she makes her darling.
Francis Bacon
Image
By indignities men come to dignities.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.
Francis Bacon
Image
God's first creature, which was light.
Francis Bacon
Image
The cord breaketh at last by the weakest pull.
Francis Bacon
Image
Certainly man is of kin to the beasts by his body and if he be not kin to God by his spirit, he is a base and ignoble creature.
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.
Francis Bacon
