Image
Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things
Francis Bacon
Image
Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true.
Francis Bacon
Image
No man's fortune can be an end worthy of his being.

Image
God hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.

Image
Images also help me find and realise ideas. I look at hundreds of very different, contrasting images and I pinch details from them, rather like people who eat from other people`s plates.

Image
Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.
Francis Bacon
Image
Defer not charities till death for certainly, if a man weigh it rightly, he that doth so is rather liberal of another man's than of his own.
Francis Bacon
Image
I hold every man a debtor to his profession.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
It cannot be that axioms established by argumentation should avail for the discovery of new works, since the subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of argument. But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active.
Francis Bacon
Image
If I sit and daydream, the images rush by like a succession of colored slides.
Francis Bacon
Image
It was well said that envy keeps no holidays.
Francis Bacon
Image
Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
The doctrines of religion are resolved into carefulness carefulness into vigorousness vigorousness into guiltlessness guiltlessness into abstemiousness abstemiousness into cleanliness cleanliness into godliness.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is idle to expect any great advancement in science from the superinducing and engrafting of new things upon old. We must begin anew from the very foundations, unless we would revolve for ever in a circle with mean and contemptible progress.
Francis Bacon
Image
If I might control the literature of the household, I would guarantee the well-being of Church and State.
