A young man not yet, an elder man not at all.

An illustrational form tells you through the intelligence immediately what the form is about, whereas a non-illustrational form works first upon sensation and then slowly leaks back into the fact.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I'm working for myself; what e...

I'm working for myself; what else have I got to work for? How can you work for an audience? What do you imagine an audience would want? I have got nobody to excite except myself, so I am always surprised if anyone likes my work sometimes. I suppose I'm very lucky, of course, to be able to earn my living by something that really absorbs me to try to do, if that is what you call luck.

And as for Mixed Mathematics, I may only make this prediction, that there cannot fail to be more kinds of them, as nature grows further disclosed.

The ill and unfit choice of words wonderfully obstructs the understanding.

The master of superstition, is the people; and in all superstition, wise men follow fools; and arguments are fitted to practice, in a reversed order.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

We must see whether the same clock with weights will go faster at the top of a mountain or at the bottom of a mine; it is probable, if the pull of the weights decreases on the mountain and increases in the mine, that the earth has real attraction.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

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

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.

The zeal which begins with hypocrisy must conclude in treachery at first it deceives, at last it betrays

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

The inquiry of truth, which is...

The inquiry of truth, which is the love-making, or the wooing of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human nature.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The human understanding is no ...

The human understanding is no dry light, but receives an infusion from the will and affections... What a man had rather were true he more readily believes.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

We think according to nature. ...

We think according to nature. We speak according to rules. We act according to custom.
