Nor is mine a trumpet which su...

Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another; but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The rising unto place is labor...

The rising unto place is laborious, and by pains men come to greater pains; and it is sometimes base, and by indignities men come to dignities. The standing is slippery, and the regress is either a downfall, or at least an eclipse.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

One of the fathers saith . . ....

One of the fathers saith . . . that old men go to death, and death comes to young men.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I knew a wise man that had it ...

I knew a wise man that had it for a by-word, when he saw men hasten to a conclusion, 'Stay a little, that we may make an end the sooner.'

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

When a bee stings, she dies. She cannot sting and live. When men sting, their better selves die. Every sting kills a better instinct. Men must not turn bees and kill themselves in stinging others.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

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.'

Mysteries are due to secrecy....

Mysteries are due to secrecy.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

There is another ground of hope that must not be omitted. Let men but think over their infinite expenditure of understanding, time, and means on matters and pursuits of far less use and value; whereof, if but a small part were directed to sound and solid studies, there is no difficulty that might not be overcome.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

If a man's wit be not apt to d...

If a man's wit be not apt to distinguish or find differences, let him study the schoolmen; for they are cymini sectores, splitters of hairs.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Generally he perceived in men ...

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

First the amendment of their o...

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

Nothing doth so much keep men ...

Nothing doth so much keep men out of the Church, and drive men out of the Church, as breach of unity.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The first question concerning ...

The first question concerning the Celestial Bodies is whether there be a system, that is whether the world or universe compose together one globe, with a center, or whether the particular globes of earth and stars be scattered dispersedly, each on its own roots, without any system or common center.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The dignity of this end of end...

The dignity of this end of endowment of man's life with new commodity appeareth by the estimation that antiquity made of such as guided thereunto ; for whereas founders of states, lawgivers, extirpators of tyrants, fathers of the people, were honoured but with the titles of demigods, inventors ere ever consecrated among the gods themselves.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

To spend too much time in stud...

To spend too much time in studies is sloth.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

When a traveler returneth home...

When a traveler returneth home, let him not leave the countries where he hath traveled altogether behind him.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

But by far the greatest obstac...

But by far the greatest obstacle to the progress of science and to the undertaking of new tasks and provinces therein is found in this-that men despair and think things impossible.

Revenge is a kind of wild justice.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The human understanding, from ...

The human understanding, from its peculiar nature, easily supposes a greater degree of order and equality in things than it really finds.
