Francis Bacon
Image
Nothing is terrible except fear itself.
Francis Bacon
Image
Certainly virtue is like precious odors, most fragrant when they are incensed, or crushed: for prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue.
Francis Bacon
Image
I paint for myself. I don't know how to do anything else, anyway. Also I have to earn my living, and occupy myself.
Francis Bacon
Image
To suffering there is a limit to fearing, none.
Francis Bacon
Image
Laws and Institutions Must Go Hand in Hand with the Progress of the Human Mind.
Francis Bacon
Image
Rather to excite your judgment briefly than to inform it tediously.
Francis Bacon
Image
The ill and unfit choice of words wonderfully obstructs the understanding.
Francis Bacon
