More quotes by Roger Bacon
Cease to be ruled by dogmas and authorities look at the world!
Roger Bacon
A man is crazy who writes a secret in any other way than one which will conceal it from the vulgar.
Roger Bacon
Mathematics is the gate and key to science.
Roger Bacon
There are four chief obstacles in grasping truth ... namely, submission to faulty and unworthy authority, influence of custom, popular prejudice, and the concealment of our own ignorance accompanied by an ostentatious display of our knowledge.
Roger Bacon
Neglect of mathematics work injury to all knowledge, since he who is ignorant of it cannot know the other sciences or things of this world. And what is worst, those who are thus ignorant are unable to perceive their own ignorance, and so do not seek a remedy.
Roger Bacon
One man alone had really known the sciences, namely, Robert, Bishop of Lincoln.
Roger Bacon
A little learning is a dangerous thing but none at all is fatal.
Roger Bacon
To ask the proper question is half of knowing.
Roger Bacon
It is easier for a man to burn down his own house than to get rid of his prejudices.
Roger Bacon
The conquest of learning is achieved through the knowledge of languages.
Roger Bacon
Few have attained to consummate wisdom in the perfection of philosophy: Solomon attained to it, and Aristotle in relation to his times, and in a later age Avicenna, and in our own days the recently deceased Robert, Bishop of Lincoln, and Adam Marsh.
Roger Bacon
... mathematics is absolutely necessary and useful to the other sciences.
Roger Bacon
The calendar is intolerable to all wisdom, the horror of all astronomy, and a laughing stock from a mathematician's point of view.
Roger Bacon
Atheists are like wild feral dogs wih no master. But Christians are like loving dogs with a giving and loving master. Domesticated dogs will love you always, but Feral wild dogs HAVE to be put down. they are a danger to us all.
Roger Bacon
For if any man who never saw fire proved by satisfactory arguments that fire burns. His hearer's mind would never be satisfied, nor would he avoid the fire until he put his hand in it that he might learn by experiment what argument taught.
Roger Bacon
There are two modes of acquiring knowledge, namely by reasoning and experience. Reasoning draws a conclusion and makes us grant the conclusion, but does not make the conclusion certain, nor does it remove doubt so that the mind may rest on the intuition of truth, unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience.
Roger Bacon
Argument is conclusive, but it does not remove doubt.
Roger Bacon
There are two modes of knowledge: through argument and through experience. Argument brings conclusions and compels us to concede them, but it does not cause certainty nor remove doubts that the mind may rest in truth, unless this is provided by experience.
Roger Bacon
All science requires mathematics. [Editors' summary of Bacon's idea, not Bacon's wording.]
Roger Bacon
[I]f in other sciences we should arrive at certainty without doubt and truth without error, it behooves us to place the foundations of knowledge in mathematics, in so far as disposed through it we are able to reach certainty in other sciences and truth by the exclusion of error.
Roger Bacon
