Image
If I sit and daydream, the images rush by like a succession of colored slides.
Francis Bacon
Image
But we are not dedicating or building any Capitol or Pyramid to human Pride, but found a holy temple in the human Intellect, on the model of the Universe... For whatever is worthy of Existence is worthy of Knowledge-which is the Image (or Echo) of Existence.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.
Francis Bacon
Image
One always starts work with the subject, no matter how tenuous it is, and one constructs an artificial structure by which one can trap the reality of the subject-matter that one has started from.
Francis Bacon
Image
The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes the wrong one.
Francis Bacon
Image
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.
Francis Bacon
Image
When any of the four pillars of government-religion, justice, counsel, and treasure-are mainly shaken or weakened, men had need to pray for fair weather.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nothing doth more hurt in a state than that cunning men pass for wise.
Francis Bacon
Image
To say that a man lieth, is as much to say, as that he is brave towards God, and a coward towards men.
Francis Bacon
Image
The wonder of a single snowflake outweighs the wisdom of a million meteorologists.
Francis Bacon
Image
Wonder is the seed of knowledge
Francis Bacon
Image
Photographs are not only points of reference... they're often triggers of ideas.
Francis Bacon
Image
The general root of superstition is that men observe when things hit, and not when they miss, and commit to memory the one, and pass over the other.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is another ground of hope that must not be omitted. Let men but think over their infinite expenditure of understanding, time, and means on matters and pursuits of far less use and value whereof, if but a small part were directed to sound and solid studies, there is no difficulty that might not be overcome.
Francis Bacon
Image
Of all virtues and dignities of the mind, goodness is the greatest, being the character of the Deity and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing.
Francis Bacon
Image
The genius of any single man can no more equal learning, than a private purse hold way with the exchequer.
Francis Bacon
Image
When I paint I am ageless, I just have the pleasure or the difficulty of painting.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is rightly laid down that 'true knowledge is knowledge by causes'. Also the establishment of four causes is not bad: material, formal, efficient and final.
Francis Bacon
Image
The only really interesting thing is what happens between two people in a room.
Francis Bacon
Image
Good fame is like fire when you have kindled you may easily preserve it but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again.
