More quotes by Francis Bacon
Good fame is like fire when you have kindled you may easily preserve it but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again.
Francis Bacon
Much bending breaks the bow much unbending the mind.
Francis Bacon
You want accuracy, but not representation. If you know how to make the figuration, it doesn't work. Anything you can make, you make by accident. In painting, you have to know what you do, not how, when you do it.
Francis Bacon
I should have been, I don't know, a con-man, a robber or a prostitute. But it was vanity that made me choose painting, vanity and chance.
Francis Bacon
When a doubt is once received, men labour rather how to keep it a doubt still, than how to solve it and accordingly bend their wits.
Francis Bacon
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Francis Bacon
Riches are for spending, and spending for honor and good actions therefore extraordinary expense must be limited by the worth of the occasion.
Francis Bacon
An illustrational form tells you through the intelligence immediately what the form is about, whereas a non-illustrational form works first upon sensation and then slowly leaks back into the fact.
Francis Bacon
There is no greater wisdom than well to time the beginnings and onsets of things.
Francis Bacon
Boldness is ever blind, for it sees not dangers and inconveniences whence it is bad in council though good in execution.
Francis Bacon
Houses are built to live in, and not to look on: therefore let use be preferred before uniformity.
Francis Bacon
Spouses are great impediments to great enterprises.
Francis Bacon
I would like, in my arbitrary way, to bring one nearer to the actual human being.
Francis Bacon
Mark what a generosity and courage (a dog) will put on when he finds himself maintained by a man, who to him is instead of a God
Francis Bacon
The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses.
Francis Bacon
In all superstition wise men follow fools.
Francis Bacon
I have to hope that my instincts will do the right thing, because I can't erase what I have done. And if I drew something first, then my paintings would be illustrations of drawings.
Francis Bacon
Of all the things in nature, the formation and endowment of man was singled out by the ancients.
Francis Bacon
Money is like manure, of very little use except it be spread.
Francis Bacon
No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage-ground of truth.
Francis Bacon
