The human understanding is li...

The human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

If money be not thy servant, ...

If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Jesus would have been one of ...

Jesus would have been one of the best photographers that ever existed. He was always looking at the beauty of people souls. In fact Jesus was constantly making pictures of God in people's life by looking at their souls and exposing them to his light.

Why should I be angry with a man for loving himself better than me?

In one and the same fire, clay grows hard and wax melts.

God has, in fact, written two books, not just one. Of course, we are all familiar with the first book he wrote, namely Scripture. But he has written a second book called creation.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

It's not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.

If we are to achieve things never before accomplished we must employ methods never before attempted

The best armor is to keep out of gunshot.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

He that will not apply new remedies, must expect new evils: for Time is the greatest innovator: and if Time, of course, alter things to the worse, and wisdom and counsel shall not alter them to the better, what shall be the end?.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The human understanding of it...

The human understanding of its own nature is prone to suppose the existence of more order and regularity in the world than it finds.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Love and envy make a man pine...

Love and envy make a man pine, which other affections do not, because they are not so continual.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The logic now in use serves r...

The logic now in use serves rather to fix and give stability to the errors which have their foundation in commonly received notions than to help the search for truth. So it does more harm than good.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

My painting is not violent, i...

My painting is not violent, it's life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other; violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream; we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Read not to contradict and co...

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 1062 quotes

To be free minded and cheerfu...

To be free minded and cheerfully disposed at hours of meat and sleep and of exercise is one of the best precepts of long lasting.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The monuments of wit survive ...

The monuments of wit survive the monuments of power.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

A man cannot speak to his son...

A man cannot speak to his son, but as a father; to his wife, but as a husband; to his enemy, but upon terms: whereas a friend may speak, as the case requires, and not as it sorteth with the person.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

That things are changed, and ...

That things are changed, and that nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains exactly the same, is sufficiently certain.

A cat will never drown if she sees the shore.
