There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
Image
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.

The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness.

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience. He that travelleth into a country before he hath some entrance into the language, goeth to school, and not to travel.

Laws and Institutions Must Go Hand in Hand with the Progress of the Human Mind.
Francis Bacon

Atheism is rather in the lip, than in the heart of man.

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.
Francis Bacon
Image
The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.
Francis Bacon
Image
When a doubt is once received, men labour rather how to keep it a doubt still, than how to solve it and accordingly bend their wits.
Francis Bacon
Image
The logic now in use serves rather to fix and give stability to the errors which have their foundation in commonly received notions than to help the search for truth. So it does more harm than good.
