Francis Bacon
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
Francis Bacon
Truth comes out of error more readily than out of confusion.
Francis Bacon
Very few people have a natural feeling for painting, and so, of course, they naturally think that painting is an expression of the artist's mood. But it rarely is. Very often he may be in greatest despair and be painting his happiest paintings.
Francis Bacon

We are born with a scream we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.
Francis Bacon
The master of superstition, is the people and in all superstition, wise men follow fools and arguments are fitted to practice, in a reversed order.
Francis Bacon
The ill and unfit choice of words wonderfully obstructs the understanding.
Francis Bacon
In charity there is no excess.
Francis Bacon
It is in life as it is in ways, the shortest way is commonly the foulest, and surely the fairer way is not much about.
Francis Bacon
...to invent is to discover that we know not, and not to recover or resummon that which we already know
