More quotes by Francis Bacon
Since custom is the principal magistrate of man's life, let men by all means endeavor to obtain good customs.
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
It is impossible to love and to be wise.
Francis Bacon
No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage-ground of truth.
Francis Bacon
Seek ye first the good things of the mind, and the rest will either be supplied or its loss will not be felt.
Francis Bacon
Riches are a good hand maiden, but a poor mistress.
Francis Bacon
Custom is the principle magistrate of man's life.
Francis Bacon
The cause and root of nearly all evils in the sciences is this-that while we falsely admire and extol the powers of the human mind we neglect to seek for its true helps.
Francis Bacon
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience.
Francis Bacon
All will come out in the washing.
Francis Bacon
There is no greater wisdom than well to time the beginnings and onsets of things.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
We only have our nervous system to paint.
Francis Bacon
Nuptial love makes mankind friendly love perfects it but wanton love corrupts and debases it.
Francis Bacon
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.
Francis Bacon
For knowledge, too, is itself power.
Francis Bacon
People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.
Francis Bacon
Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.
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
There is no doubt but men of genius and leisure may carry our method to greater perfection, but, having had long experience, we have found none equal to it for the commodiousness it affords in working with the Understanding.
Francis Bacon
