Francis Bacon
Image
Nature is often hidden, sometimes overcome, seldom extinguished.
Francis Bacon
Image
When I paint I am ageless, I just have the pleasure or the difficulty of painting.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is not the lie that passeth through the mind, but the lie that sinketh in and settleth in it, that doth the hurt.
Francis Bacon
Image
Revenge is a kind of wild justice.
Francis Bacon
Image
Croesus said to Cambyses That peace was better than war because in peace the sons did bury their fathers, but in wars the fathers did bury their sons.

Journeys at youth are part of the education but at maturity, are part of the experience.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nothing doth so much keep men out of the Church, and drive men out of the Church, as breach of unity.
Francis Bacon
Image
For many parts of Nature can neither be invented with sufficient subtlety, nor demonstrated with sufficient perspicuity, nor accommodated unto use with sufficient dexterity, without the aid and intervening of the mathematics, of which sort are perspective, music, astronomy, cosmography, architecture, engineery, and divers others.
