More quotes by Francis Bacon
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
Prosperity discovers vice, adversity discovers virtue.
Francis Bacon
I don't think people are born artists I think it comes from a mixture of your surroundings, the people you meet, and luck.
Francis Bacon
Fortune makes him fool, whom she makes her darling.
Francis Bacon
Excusations, cessions, modesty itself well governed, are but arts of ostentation.
Francis Bacon
Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words, or in good order.
Francis Bacon
All will come out in the washing.
Francis Bacon
Truth is a good dog but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out.
Francis Bacon
Seek ye first the good things of the mind, and the rest will either be supplied or its loss will not be felt.
Francis Bacon
O life! An age to the miserable, a moment to the happy.
Francis Bacon
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
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
Rebellions of the belly are the worst.
Francis Bacon
The human understanding is no dry light, but receives an infusion from the will and affections... What a man had rather were true he more readily believes.
Francis Bacon
It is a sad fate for a man to die too well known to everybody else, and still unknown to himself.
Francis Bacon
The pencil of the Holy Ghost hath labored more in describing the afflictions of Job than the felicities of Solomon.
Francis Bacon
Those that want friends to open themselves unto are cannibals of their own hearts.
Francis Bacon
I want to make portraits and images. I don't know how. Out of despair, I just use paint anyway. Suddenly the things you make coagulate and take on just the shape you intend. Totally accurate marks, which are outside representational marks.
Francis Bacon
Perils commonly ask to be paid in pleasures.
Francis Bacon
A lie faces God and shrinks from man.
Francis Bacon
