O life! An age to the miserable, a moment to the happy.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Learning hath his infancy, wh...

Learning hath his infancy, when it is but beginning and almost childish; then his youth, when it is luxuriant and juvenile; then his strength of years, when it is solid and reduced; and lastly his old age, when it waxeth dry and exhaust.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

It is a secret both in nature...

It is a secret both in nature and state, that it is safer to change many things than one.

In mathematics I can report no deficiency, except it be that men do not sufficiently understand the excellent use of Pure Mathematics.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Man, being the servant and interpreter of Nature, can do and understand so much and so much only as he has observed in fact or thought of the course of nature; beyond this he neither knows anything nor can do anything.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Neither the naked hand nor th...

Neither the naked hand nor the understanding left to itself can effect much. It is by instruments and helps that the work is done, which are as much wanted for the understanding as for the hand. And as the instruments of the hand either give motion or guide it, so the instruments of the mind supply either suggestions for the understanding or cautions.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

My praise shall be dedicated ...

My praise shall be dedicated to the mind itself. The mind is the man, and the knowledge is the mind. A man is but what he knoweth. The mind is but an accident to knowledge, for knowledge is the double of that which is.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Upon a given body to generate...

Upon a given body to generate and superinduce a new nature or new natures is the work and aim of human power. To discover the Form of a given nature, or its true difference, or its causal nature, or fount of its emanation... this is the work and aim of human knowledge.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I don't think people are born...

I don't think people are born artists; I think it comes from a mixture of your surroundings, the people you meet, and luck.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I confess that I have as vast contemplative ends, as I have moderate civil ends: for I have taken all knowledge to be my province.

Revenge is a kind of wild justice.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The poets did well to conjoin...

The poets did well to conjoin music and medicine, in Apollo, because the office of medicine is but to tune the curious harp of man's body and reduce it to harmony.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Generally he perceived in men of devout simplicity this opinion: that the secrets of nature were the secrets of God, part of that glory into which man is not to press too boldly.

Francis Bacon 1062 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 1062 quotes

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