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.

More quotes by Francis Bacon
The best preservative to keep the mind in health is the faithful admonition of a friend.
Francis Bacon
I have to hope that my instincts will do the right thing, because I can't erase what I have done. And if I drew something first, then my paintings would be illustrations of drawings.
Francis Bacon
If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
Francis Bacon
There is no secrecy comparable to celerity.
Francis Bacon
Wise sayings are not only for ornament, but for action and business, having a point or edge, whereby knots in business are pierced and discovered.
Francis Bacon
It is good discretion not make too much of any man at the first because one cannot hold out that proportion.
Francis Bacon
Pictures and shapes are but secondary objects and please or displease only in the memory.
Francis Bacon
A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others. For men's minds, will either feed upon their own good, or upon others' evil and who wanteth the one, will prey upon the other and whoso is out of hope, to attain to another's virtue, will seek to come at even hand, by depressing another's fortune.
Francis Bacon
Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.
Francis Bacon
The errors of young men are the ruin of business, but the errors of aged men amount to this, that more might have been done, or sooner.
Francis Bacon
You can't be more horrific than life itself.
Francis Bacon
As is the garden such is the gardener. A man's nature runs either to herbs or weeds.
Francis Bacon
As you work, the mood grows on you. There are certain images which suddenly get hold of me and I really want to do them. But it's true to say that the excitement and possibilities are in the working and obviously can only come in the working.
Francis Bacon
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.
Francis Bacon
I always think of myself not so much as a painter but as a medium for accident and chance.
Francis Bacon
Every person born in the USA is endowed with life, liberty, and a substantial share of the national debt.
Francis Bacon
People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.
Francis Bacon
Painting gave meaning to my life which without it would not have had
Francis Bacon
Religion brought forth riches, and the daughter devoured the mother.
Francis Bacon
The mystery lies in the irrationality by which you make appearance - if it is not irrational, you make illustration.
Francis Bacon
