More quotes by Francis Bacon
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
Riches are for spending, and spending for honor and good actions therefore extraordinary expense must be limited by the worth of the occasion.
Francis Bacon
Love and envy make a man pine, which other affections do not, because they are not so continual.
Francis Bacon
The bee enclosed and through the amber shown Seems buried in the juice which was his own.
Francis Bacon
Many a man's strength is in opposition, and when he faileth, he grows out of use.
Francis Bacon
As you work, the mood grows on you. There are certain images which suddenly get hold of me and I really want to do them. But it's true to say that the excitement and possibilities are in the working and obviously can only come in the working.
Francis Bacon
Friends are thieves of time.
Francis Bacon
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand - and melting like a snowflake.
Francis Bacon
Judges ought above all to remember the conclusion of the Roman Twelve Tables :The supreme law of all is the weal [weatlh/ well-being] of the people.
Francis Bacon
You cannot teach a child to take care of himself unless you will let him try to take care of himself. He will make mistakes and out of these mistakes will come his wisdom.
Francis Bacon
My painting is not violent, it's life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.
Francis Bacon
It is a secret both in nature and state, that it is safer to change many things than one.
Francis Bacon
It is the wisdom of the crocodiles, that shed tears when they would devour.
Francis Bacon
People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.
Francis Bacon
Revenge is a kind of wild justice.
Francis Bacon
They that reverence to much old times are but a scorn to the new.
Francis Bacon
The logic now in use serves rather to fix and give stability to the errors which have their foundation in commonly received notions than to help the search for truth. So it does more harm than good.
Francis Bacon
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
There arises from a bad and unapt formation of words a wonderful obstruction to the mind.
Francis Bacon
God has, in fact, written two books, not just one. Of course, we are all familiar with the first book he wrote, namely Scripture. But he has written a second book called creation.
Francis Bacon
