Truth Quote by Francis Bacon — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.”

“A prudent question is one half of wisdom.”

“Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.”

“Crafty men condemn studies; Simple men admire them; And wise men use them: For they teach not their own use: but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.”

“Philosophy when superficially studied, excites doubt, when thoroughly explored, it dispels it.”

“God never wrought miracle to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it. It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion.”

“You don't deserve to understand truth”

“Lying is not only saying what isn't true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true, and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels.”

“There is no such thing as 'your truth'. There is the truth and your opinion.”

“The Amorous Shepherd is a fruitless interlude, but those few poems are among the world’s greatest love poems, because they’re love poems about love, not about being poems. The poet loves because he loves, not because love exists.”

“Deceit for personal gain is one of history's most recurring crimes. Man's first step towards change would be thinking, counter-arguing, re-thinking, twisting, straightening, perfecting, then believing every original idea he intends to make public before making it public. There is always an angle from which an absolute truth may appear askew just as there is always a personal emotion, or a personal agenda, which alienates the ultimate good of mankind.”

“It's easier to fake it. When you fake it for sixteen years, it becomes part of you, something you don't think about.”
