Knowledge is a rich storehouse for the glory of the Creator and the relief of man's estate.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

For first of all we must prepa...

For first of all we must prepare a Natural and Experimental History, sufficient and good; and this is the foundation of all; for we are not to imagine or suppose, but to discover, what nature does or may be made to do.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Defer not charities till death...

Defer not charities till death; for certainly, if a man weigh it rightly, he that doth so is rather liberal of another man's than of his own.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Moreover, the works already kn...

Moreover, the works already known are due to chance and experiment rather than to sciences; for the sciences we now possess are merely systems for the nice ordering and setting forth of things already invented; not methods of invention or directions for new works.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The more a man drinketh of the world, the more it intoxicateth.

Consistency is the foundation of virtue.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Rather to excite your judgment...

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

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Pyrrhus, when his friends congratulated to him his victory over the Romans under Fabricius, but with great slaughter of his own side, said to them, 'Yes; but if we have such another victory, we are undone.'

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

What then remains but that we still should cry, For being born, and, being born, to die?

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

It was prettily devised of Aesop, The fly sat on the axle tree of the chariot wheel and said, what dust do I raise!

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

There is no greater wisdom than well to time the beginnings and onsets of things.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

They are happy men whose natures sort with their vocations.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Whence we see spiders, flies, ...

Whence we see spiders, flies, or ants entombed and preserved forever in amber, a more than royal tomb.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

We see then how far the monume...

We see then how far the monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands. For have not the verses of Homer continued twenty-five hundred years or more, without the loss of a syllable or letter; during which time infinite palaces, temples, castles, cities have been decayed and demolished?

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Nor do apophthegms only serve ...

Nor do apophthegms only serve for ornament and delight, but also for action and civil use, as being the edge-tools of speech which cut and penetrate the knots of business and affairs: for occasions have their revolutions, and what has once been advantageously used may be so again, either as an old thing or a new one.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Antiquities, or remnants of hi...

Antiquities, or remnants of history, are, as was said, tanquam tabula naufragii: when industrious persons, by an exact and scrupulous diligence and observation, out of monuments, names, words, proverbs, traditions, private records and evidences, fragments of stories, passages of books that concern not story, and the like, do save and recover somewhat from the deluge of time.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

That which above all other yie...

That which above all other yields the sweetest smell in the air is the violet.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

If I might control the literature of the household, I would guarantee the well-being of Church and State.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Secrecy in suits goes a great way towards success.

For it is most true that a natural and secret hatred and aversation towards society in any man, hath somewhat of the savage beast.
