Some artists leave remarkable things which, a 100 years later, don't work at all. I have left my mark my work is hung in museums, but maybe one day the Tate Gallery or the other museums will banish me to the cellar... you never know.
Francis Bacon
Image
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Francis Bacon

Man was formed for society.
Francis Bacon
Image

Francis Bacon
Image
If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him.
Francis Bacon
Image
It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is superstition in avoiding superstition.
Francis Bacon
Image
Houses are built to live in, and not to look on: therefore let use be preferred before uniformity.
Francis Bacon
Image
In all superstition wise men follow fools.
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
If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again.
Francis Bacon
Image
All bravery stands upon comparisons.
Francis Bacon
Image
I had rather believe all the Fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a Mind.
Francis Bacon
Image
Money is like manure, of very little use except it be spread.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
