Reading maketh a full man.
Francis Bacon
Image
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes adversity not without many comforts and hopes.

There was never miracle wrought by God to convert an atheist, because the light of nature might have led him to confess a God.
Francis Bacon

A king that would not feel his crown too heavy for him, must wear it every day but if he think it too light, he knoweth not of what metal it is made.
Francis Bacon
Image
A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.
Francis Bacon
Image
You cannot teach a child to take care of himself unless you will let him try to take care of himself. He will make mistakes and out of these mistakes will come his wisdom.

Great Hypocrites are the real atheists.
Francis Bacon
Image
The rising unto place is laborious, and by pains men come to greater pains and it is sometimes base, and by indignities men come to dignities. The standing is slippery, and the regress is either a downfall, or at least an eclipse.
Francis Bacon
Image
In revenge a man is but even with his enemy for it is a princely thing to pardon, and Solomon saith it is the glory of a man to pass over a transgression.
Francis Bacon
Image
Friends are thieves of time.
Francis Bacon
Image
Our humanity is a poor thing, except for the divinity that stirs within us.
Francis Bacon
Image
The zeal which begins with hypocrisy must conclude in treachery at first it deceives, at last it betrays
Francis Bacon
Image
The correlative to loving our neighbors as ourselves is hating ourselves as we hate our neighbors.
Francis Bacon
Image
For no man can forbid the spark nor tell whence it may come.
Francis Bacon
Image

Francis Bacon
Image
I regret not starting to paint earlier...It is one of the few things I do regret.
Francis Bacon
Image
A picture should be a re-creation of an event rather than an illustration of an object but there is no tension in the picture unless there is a struggle with the object.
Francis Bacon
Image
By indignities men come to dignities.
Francis Bacon
Image
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon
