Francis Bacon
Image
Consistency is the foundation of virtue.
Francis Bacon
Image
He of whom many are afraid ought himself to fear many.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Image
The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness.
Francis Bacon
Image
For knowledge, too, is itself power.
Francis Bacon
