Francis Bacon
Image
Great Hypocrites are the real atheists.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nothing doth more hurt in a state than that cunning men pass for wise.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Image
It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.
Francis Bacon
Image
Such philosophy as shall not vanish in the fume of subtile, sublime, or delectable speculation but shall be operative to the endowment and betterment of man's life.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is madness and a contradiction to expect that things which were never yet performed should be effected, except by means hitherto untried.
Francis Bacon
Image
Never any knowledge was delivered in the same order it was invented.
Francis Bacon
Image
Perils commonly ask to be paid in pleasures.
Francis Bacon
Image
Believe not much them that seem to despise riches, for they despise them that despair of them.
Francis Bacon
Image
You can't be more horrific than life itself.
Francis Bacon
Image
When I paint I am ageless, I just have the pleasure or the difficulty of painting.
Francis Bacon
Image
the serpent if it wants to become the dragon must eat itself.
Francis Bacon
Image
When any of the four pillars of government-religion, justice, counsel, and treasure-are mainly shaken or weakened, men had need to pray for fair weather.
Francis Bacon
Image
Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.
