One of our greatest and most powerful intellects! He was a philosopher and statesman. He was also the great minister of Queen Elizabeth. His developments of the inductive philosophy revolutionized the future thought of the human race. Bacon saw himself as the inventor of a method which would kindle a light in nature – “a light that would eventually disclose and bring into sight all that is most hidden and secret in the universe.”<\/p>\n
This method involved the collection of data, their judicious interpretation, the carrying out of experiments, thus to learn the secrets of nature by organized observation of its regularities. Bacon’s proposals had a powerful influence on the development of science in seventeenth-century Europe. (1561-1626)<\/p>\n
– Francis Bacon Quotes –<\/b><\/p>\n
Young people are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and more fit for new projects than for settled business.<\/strong> Virtue is like a rich stone, best plain set.<\/strong> It is in life as it is in ways, the shortest way is commonly the foulest, and surely the fairer way is not much about.<\/strong> Choose the life that is most useful, and habit will make it the most agreeable.<\/strong> Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor.<\/strong> Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man’s nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.<\/strong> I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.<\/strong> Riches are a good hand maiden, but a poor mistress.<\/strong> If money be not they 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.<\/strong> 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?<\/strong> Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes.<\/strong> Studies perfect nature and are perfected still by experience.<\/strong> Knowledge and human power are synonymous.<\/strong> The remedy is worse than the disease.<\/strong> Many a man’s strength is in opposition, and when he faileth, he grows out of use.<\/strong> Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.<\/strong> Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.<\/strong> A sudden bold and unexpected question doth many times surprise a man and lay him open.<\/strong> Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.<\/strong> Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.<\/strong> People have discovered that they can fool the devil; but they can’t fool the neighbors.<\/strong> The great end of life is not knowledge but action.<\/strong> Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.<\/strong> Wise men make more opportunities than they find.<\/strong> Lies are sufficient to breed opinion, and opinion brings on substance.<\/strong> In every great time there is some one idea at work which is more powerful than any other, and which shapes the events of the time and determines their ultimate issues.<\/strong> Who ever is out of patience is out of possession of their soul.<\/strong> There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.<\/strong> Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried, or childless men.<\/strong> Studies serve for delight, for ornaments, and for ability.<\/strong> As the births of living creatures are at first ill-shapen, so are all innovations, which are the births of time.<\/strong> The place of justice is a hallowed place.<\/strong> Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid.<\/strong> If we do not maintain Justice, Justice will not maintain us.<\/strong> There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man’s own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health.<\/strong> Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.<\/strong> Small amounts of philosophy lead to atheism, but larger amounts bring us back to God.<\/strong> Knowledge is power.<\/strong> He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils.<\/strong> He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils.<\/strong> This is certain, that a man that studieth revenge keeps his wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.<\/strong> Next to religion, let your care be to promote justice.<\/strong> The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.<\/strong> It is a strange desire, to seek power, and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man’s self.<\/strong> Fortune is like the market, where, many times, if you can stay a little, the price will fall.<\/strong> Beauty is as summer fruits, which are easy to corrupt and cannot last; and for the most part it makes a dissolute youth, and an age a little out of countenance; but if it light well, it makes virtue shine and vice blush.<\/strong> Wives are young men’s mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men’s nurses.<\/strong> Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.<\/strong> It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.<\/strong> Truth is so hard to tell, it sometimes needs fiction to make it plausible.<\/strong> There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so; but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.<\/strong> There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks God’s first creature, which was light.<\/strong> It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.<\/strong> The desire of excessive power caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge caused men to fall.<\/strong> They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.<\/strong> Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.<\/strong> Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the Infinite.<\/strong> People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.<\/strong> God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.<\/strong> The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.<\/strong> Judges must beware of hard constructions and strained inferences, for there is no worse torture than that of laws.<\/strong> Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.<\/strong> Universities incline wits to sophistry and affectation.<\/strong> Natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.<\/strong> A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it.<\/strong> Nakedness is uncomely, as well in mind as body, and it addeth no small reverence to men’s manners and actions if they be not altogether open. Therefore set it down: That a habit of secrecy is both politic and moral.<\/strong> A bachelor’s life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner.<\/strong> The best armor is to keep out of gunshot.<\/strong> Never exaggerate your faults. Your friends will attend to that.<\/strong> Prosperity is the blessing of the Old Testament; adversity is the blessing of the New.<\/strong> A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.<\/strong> The fortune which nobody sees makes a person happy and unenvied.<\/strong> For also knowledge itself is power.<\/strong> Opportunity makes a thief.<\/strong> It is impossible to love and to be wise.<\/strong> I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.<\/strong> None of the affections have been noted to fascinate and bewitch but envy.<\/strong> One of our greatest and most powerful intellects!
