Francis Bacon
Image

The ill and unfit choice of words wonderfully obstructs the understanding.

Francis Bacon
Image
Laws and Institutions Must Go Hand in Hand with the Progress of the Human Mind.
Francis Bacon
Image
Men ought to find the difference between saltiness and bitterness. Certainly, he that hath a satirical vein, as he maketh others afraid of his wit, so he had need be afraid of others' memory.
Francis Bacon
Image
The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.
Francis Bacon
Image
Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.
Francis Bacon
Image
In revenge a man is but even with his enemy for it is a princely thing to pardon, and Solomon saith it is the glory of a man to pass over a transgression.
Francis Bacon
Image
Death is a friend of ours and he that is not ready to entertain him is not at home.
Francis Bacon
