Francis Bacon
Image
The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.
Francis Bacon
Image
The human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it.
Francis Bacon
Image
Consistency is the foundation of virtue.
Francis Bacon
Image
The eye of understanding is like the eye of the sense for as you may see great objects through small crannies or levels, so you may see great axioms of nature through small and contemptible instances.
Francis Bacon
Image
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.
Francis Bacon
Image
Man seeketh in society comfort, use and protection.
