If I might control the literature of the household, I would guarantee the well-being of Church and State.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.
Francis Bacon
Image
The Syllogism consists of propositions, propositions consist of words, words are symbols of notions. Therefore if the notions themselves (which is the root of the matter) are confused and over-hastily abstracted from the facts, there can be no firmness in the superstructure. Our only hope therefore lies in a true induction.
Francis Bacon
Image
Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man's own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health.
Francis Bacon
Image
But this is that which will dignify and exalt knowledge: if contemplation and action be more nearly and straitly conjoined and united together than they have been: a conjunction like unto that of the highest planets, Saturn, the planet of rest and contemplation, and Jupiter, the planet of civil society and action.
Francis Bacon

the serpent if it wants to become the dragon must eat itself.
Francis Bacon
Image
Money is like manure, of very little use except it be spread.
Francis Bacon
Image
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Image
God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.
Francis Bacon
Image
Age appears to be best in four things old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
Francis Bacon
Image
Virtue is like precious odours,-most fragrant when they are incensed or crushed.
Francis Bacon
Image
Perils commonly ask to be paid in pleasures.
Francis Bacon
Image
Death is a friend of ours and he that is not ready to entertain him is not at home.
Francis Bacon
Image
Truth comes out of error more readily than out of confusion.
Francis Bacon
Image
The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness , of fear and pleasure it's a little like making love, the physical act of love.
Francis Bacon
Image
You can't be more horrific than life itself.
Francis Bacon
Image
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
