Image
Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.
Francis Bacon
Image
Believe not much them that seem to despise riches, for they despise them that despair of them.
Francis Bacon
Image
It cannot be that axioms established by argumentation should avail for the discovery of new works, since the subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of argument. But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is a miserable state of mind to have few things to desire and many things to fear.
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
God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.
Francis Bacon
Image
Money is like manure, of very little use except it be spread.
Francis Bacon
Image
I hold every man a debtor to his profession.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things
Francis Bacon
Image
For many parts of Nature can neither be invented with sufficient subtlety, nor demonstrated with sufficient perspicuity, nor accommodated unto use with sufficient dexterity, without the aid and intervening of the mathematics, of which sort are perspective, music, astronomy, cosmography, architecture, engineery, and divers others.
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
Velazquez found the perfect balance between the ideal illustration which he was required to produce, and the overwhelming emotion he aroused in the spectator.
Francis Bacon
Image
If I sit and daydream, the images rush by like a succession of colored slides.
Francis Bacon
Image
They that reverence to much old times are but a scorn to the new.
Francis Bacon
Image
The mystery lies in the irrationality by which you make appearance - if it is not irrational, you make illustration.
Francis Bacon
Image
Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.
Francis Bacon
Image
...to invent is to discover that we know not, and not to recover or resummon that which we already know
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.
Francis Bacon
Image
You see, painting has now become, or all art has now become completely a game, by which man distracts himself. What is fascinating actually is, that it's going to become much more difficult for the artist, because he must really deepen the game to become any good at all.
Francis Bacon

All good moral philosophy is ... but the handmaid to religion.
Francis Bacon
