Aristotle... a mere bond-servant to his logic, thereby rendering it contentious and well nigh useless.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

When Christ came into the wor...

When Christ came into the world, peace was sung; and when He went out of the world, peace was bequeathed.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

But the best demonstration by...

But the best demonstration by far is experience, if it go not beyond the actual experiment.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Very few people have a natura...

Very few people have a natural feeling for painting, and so, of course, they naturally think that painting is an expression of the artist's mood. But it rarely is. Very often he may be in greatest despair and be painting his happiest paintings.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I always think of myself not ...

I always think of myself not so much as a painter but as a medium for accident and chance.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

He who desires solitude is either an animal or a god.

Nothing is to be feared but fear.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

To conclude, therefore, let n...

To conclude, therefore, let no man upon a weak conceit of sobriety or an ill-applied moderation think or maintain that a man can search too far, or be too well studied in the book of God's word, or the book of God's works, divinity or philosophy; but rather let men endeavor an endless progress or proficience in both; only let men beware that they apply both to charity, and not to swelling; to use, and not to ostentation; and again, that they do not unwisely mingle or confound these learnings together.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Certainly, it is heaven upon ...

Certainly, it is heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The eye of understanding is l...

The eye of understanding is like the eye of the sense; for as you may see great objects through small crannies or levels, so you may see great axioms of nature through small and contemptible instances.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

As you work, the mood grows o...

As you work, the mood grows on you. There are certain images which suddenly get hold of me and I really want to do them. But it's true to say that the excitement and possibilities are in the working and obviously can only come in the working.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The human understanding is mo...

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 1062 quotes

Rather to excite your judgmen...

Rather to excite your judgment briefly than to inform it tediously.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Lukewarm persons think they m...

Lukewarm persons think they may accommodate points of religion by middle ways and witty reconcilements,--as if they would make an arbitrament between God and man.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

There was never law, or sect,...

There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Philosophers make imaginary l...

Philosophers make imaginary laws for imaginary commonwealths, and their discourses are as the stars, which give little light because they are so high.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

If any human being earnestly ...

If any human being earnestly desire to push on to new discoveries instead of just retaining and using the old; to win victories over Nature as a worker rather than over hostile critics as a disputant; to attain, in fact, clear and demonstrative knowlegde instead of attractive and probable theory; we invite him as a true son of Science to join our ranks.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

First the amendment of their ...

First the amendment of their own minds. For the removal of the impediments of the mind will sooner clear the passages of fortune than the obtaining fortune will remove the impediments of the mind.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Life is a marshmallow, easy to chew but hard to swallow.

He was reputed one of the wise men that made answer to the question when a man should marry? 'A young man not yet, an elder man not at all.'
