Inspiration Quote by Francis Bacon — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & 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.”

“A prudent question is one half of wisdom.”

“Truth is a naked and open daylight, that does not show the masques, and mummeries, and triumphs of the world, half so stately and daintily as candle-lights. . . A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure”

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

“Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.”

“Fears are nothing more than a state of mind.”

“Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyse you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.”

“Well begun is half done.”

“Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.”

“Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education.”

“Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it.”
