If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
Francis Bacon
Image
Spouses are great impediments to great enterprises.
Francis Bacon
Image
I want to make portraits and images. I don't know how. Out of despair, I just use paint anyway. Suddenly the things you make coagulate and take on just the shape you intend. Totally accurate marks, which are outside representational marks.
Francis Bacon
Image
Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.
Francis Bacon
Image
The correlative to loving our neighbors as ourselves is hating ourselves as we hate our neighbors.
Francis Bacon
Image
All superstition is much the same whether it be that of astrology, dreams, omen, retributive judgment, or the like, in all of which the deluded believers observe events which are fulfilled, but neglect and pass over their failure, though it be much more common.
Francis Bacon
Image
Images also help me find and realise ideas. I look at hundreds of very different, contrasting images and I pinch details from them, rather like people who eat from other people`s plates.
Francis Bacon
Image
He that will not apply new remedies, must expect new evils: for Time is the greatest innovator: and if Time, of course, alter things to the worse, and wisdom and counsel shall not alter them to the better, what shall be the end?.
Francis Bacon
Image
The person is a poor judge who by an action can be disgraced more in failing than they can be honored in succeeding.
Francis Bacon
Image
The bee enclosed and through the amber shown Seems buried in the juice which was his own.
Francis Bacon
Image
Lukewarm persons think they may accommodate points of religion by middle ways and witty reconcilements,--as if they would make an arbitrament between God and man.
Francis Bacon
Image
The general root of superstition is that men observe when things hit, and not when they miss, and commit to memory the one, and pass over the other.
Francis Bacon
Image
There are two books laid before us to study, to prevent our falling into error first, the volume of the Scriptures, which reveal the will of God then the volume of the Creatures, which express His power.
Francis Bacon
Image
A bad man is worse when he pretends to be a saint.
Francis Bacon
Image
People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.
Francis Bacon
Image
Croesus said to Cambyses That peace was better than war because in peace the sons did bury their fathers, but in wars the fathers did bury their sons.
Francis Bacon
Image
Believing that I was born for the service of mankind, and regarding the care of the commonwealth as a kind of common property which, like the air and the water, belongs to everybody, I set myself to consider in what way mankind might be best served, and what service I was myself best fitted by nature to perform.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no vice that doth so cover a man with shame as to be found false and perfidious.
Francis Bacon
Image
But the best demonstration by far is experience, if it go not beyond the actual experiment.
Francis Bacon
Image
Learning teaches how to carry things in suspense, without prejudice, till you resolve it.
