The best preservative to keep the mind in health is the faithful admonition of a friend.
Francis Bacon

Much bending breaks the bow much unbending the mind.
Francis Bacon

I confess that I have as vast contemplative ends, as I have moderate civil ends: for I have taken all knowledge to be my province.
Francis Bacon

Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not but superstition dismounts all these, and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men.

I don't think people are born artists I think it comes from a mixture of your surroundings, the people you meet, and luck.
Francis Bacon
Image
Images also help me find and realise ideas. I look at hundreds of very different, contrasting images and I pinch details from them, rather like people who eat from other people`s plates.
Francis Bacon

The desire of excessive power caused the angels to fall the desire of knowledge caused men to fall.
Francis Bacon
Image
Knowledge is power.
Francis Bacon
Image
Because the acts or events of true history have not that magnitude which satisfieth the mind of man, poesy feigneth acts and events greater and more heroical.
Francis Bacon
Image
For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocence, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.
