Text Quotes
It is madness and a contradiction to expect that things which were never yet performed should be effected, except by means hitherto untried (Francis Bacon Quotes)
... neither is it possible to discover the more remote and deeper parts of any science, if you stand but upon the level of the same science, and ascend not to a higher science (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Brutes by their natural instinct have produced many discoveries, whereas men by discussion and the conclusions of reason have given birth to few or none (Francis Bacon Quotes)
If a man’s wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again (Francis Bacon Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Hope is the most beneficial of all the affections, and doth much to the prolongation of life (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Men are rather beholden... generally to chance or anything else, than to logic, for the invention of arts and sciences (Francis Bacon Quotes)
I usually accept bribes from both sides so that tainted money can never influence my decision (Francis Bacon Quotes)
There is nothing more certain in nature than that it is impossible for any body to be utterly annihilated (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention (Francis Bacon Quotes)
The human understanding is moved by those things most which strike and enter the mind simultaneously and suddenly, and so fill the imagination; and then it feigns and supposes all other things to be somehow, though it cannot see how, similar to those few things by which it is surrounded (Francis Bacon Quotes)
The partitions of knowledge are not like several lines that meet in one angle, and so touch not in a point; but are like branches of a tree, that meet in a stem, which hath a dimension and quantity of entireness and continuance, before it come to discontinue and break itself into arms and boughs (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Certainly virtue is like precious odors, most fragrant when they are incensed, or crushed: for prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Nature is a labyrinth in which the very haste you move with will make you lose your way (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Praise from the common people is generally false, and rather follows the vain than the virtuous (Francis Bacon Quotes)
There be three things which make a nation great and prosperous: a fertile soil, busy workshops, easy conveyance for men and goods from place to place (Francis Bacon Quotes)
So if a man’s wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Certainly, in taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior; for it is a prince’s part to pardon (Francis Bacon Quotes)
It is yet a higher speech of his than the other, it is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a God (Francis Bacon Quotes)
The joys of parents are secret; and so are their griefs and fears. They cannot utter the one; nor they will not utter the other (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Men in great place are thrice servants, servants of the sovereign or state, servants of fame, and servants of business (Francis Bacon Quotes)
In things that a man would not be seen in himself, it is a point of cunning to borrow the name of the world; as to say, the world says, or there is a speech abroad (Francis Bacon Quotes)
It is a good point of cunning for a man to shape the answer he would have in his own words and propositions, for it makes the other party stick the less (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Houses are built to live in, not to look on; therefore, let use be preferred before uniformity, except where both may be had (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Costly followers are not to be liked; lest while a man maketh his train longer, he make his wings shorter (Francis Bacon Quotes)
Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtile; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend (Francis Bacon Quotes)
