A man dies as often as he loses his friends.
Francis Bacon
Age appears best in four things: old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust and old authors to read.
Francis Bacon
Atheism is rather in the lip than in the heart of Man.
Francis Bacon
Time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
It is a poore Center of a Mans Actions, Himselfe.
Francis Bacon
Riches are for spending.
Francis Bacon
Reading maketh a full man; and writing an axact man. And, therefore, if a man write little, he need have a present wit; and if he read little, he need have much cunning to seem to know which he doth not.
Francis Bacon
Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not; but superstition dismounts all these, and erecteth an absolute monarchy in the minds of men. Therefore atheism did never perturb states; for it makes men wary of themselves, as looking no further: and we see the times inclined to atheism (as the time of Augustus Cæsar) were civil times. But superstition hath been the confusion of many states, and bringeth in a new primum mobile, that ravisheth all the spheres of government. 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
The virtue of prosperity is temperance the virtue of adversity is fortitude.
Francis Bacon
The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes a wrong one ... the more active and swift the latter is the further he will go astray.
Francis Bacon
Philosophy when superficially studied, excites doubt, when thoroughly explored, it dispels it.
Francis Bacon
But it is not only the difficulty and labor which men take in finding out of truth, nor again that when it is found it imposeth upon men's thoughts, that doth bring lies in favor; but a natural though corrupt love of the lie itself.
Francis Bacon
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 some books continued twenty-five hundred years or more, without the loss of a syllable or letter; during which time infinite palaces, temples, castles, and cities have been decayed and demolished?
Francis Bacon
Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.
Francis Bacon
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
man's sense is falsely asserted to be the standard of things; on the contrary, all the perceptions both of the senses and the mind bear reference to man and not to the Universe, and the human mind resembles these uneven mirrors which impart their own properties to different objects, from which rays are emitted and distort and disfigure them.
Francis Bacon
It is a sad fate for a man to die too well known to everybody else, and still unknown to himself.
Francis Bacon
If a man looks sharply and attentively he shall see fortune for though she be blind yet she is not invisible.
Francis Bacon
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon
Nature to be commanded must be obeyed.
Francis Bacon
Money is like muck - not good unless it be spread.
Francis Bacon
If a man will begin with certainties he shall end in doubts but if he will content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.
Francis Bacon
The surest way to prevent seditions...is to take away the matter of them.
Francis Bacon
Money is a great servant but a bad master.
Francis Bacon
The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug; it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and pleasure, it's a little like making love, the physical act of love.
Francis Bacon
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted ...but to weigh and consider.
Francis Bacon
