It is a good point of cunning for a man to shape the answer he would have in his own words and propositions, for it makes the other party stick the less.
Francis Bacon
Image
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.
Francis Bacon
Image
When I paint I am ageless, I just have the pleasure or the difficulty of painting.
Francis Bacon
Image

Mark what a generosity and courage (a dog) will put on when he finds himself maintained by a man, who to him is instead of a God
Francis Bacon
Image
For a crowd is not company and faces are but a gallery of pictures and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.
Francis Bacon
Image
Things alter for the worse spontaneously, if they be not altered for the better designedly.
Francis Bacon
Image
Lukewarm persons think they may accommodate points of religion by middle ways and witty reconcilements,--as if they would make an arbitrament between God and man.
Francis Bacon
Image
Why should I be angry with a man for loving himself better than me?
Francis Bacon
Image
Wonder is the seed of knowledge
Francis Bacon
Image
If you can talk about it, why paint it?
Francis Bacon
Image
Excusations, cessions, modesty itself well governed, are but arts of ostentation.
Francis Bacon
Image
He of whom many are afraid ought himself to fear many.
Francis Bacon
Image
There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.
Francis Bacon
Image
Great art is always a way of concentrating, reinventing what is called fact, what we know of our existence- a reconcentration… tearing away the veils, the attitudes people acquire of their time and earlier time. Really good artists tear down those veils
