More quotes by Francis Bacon
Men ought to find the difference between saltiness and bitterness. Certainly, he that hath a satirical vein, as he maketh others afraid of his wit, so he had need be afraid of others' memory.
Francis Bacon
I use all sorts of things to work with: old brooms, old sweaters, and all kinds of peculiar tools and materials... I paint to excite myself, and make something for myself.
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
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
In charity there is no excess.
Francis Bacon
Let no one think or maintain that a person can search too far or be too well studied in either the book of God's word or the book of God's works.
Francis Bacon
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
Whence we see spiders, flies, or ants entombed and preserved forever in amber, a more than royal tomb.
Francis Bacon
More dangers have deceived men than forced them.
Francis Bacon
I hold every man a debtor to his profession from the which as men of course do seek to receive countenance and profit, so ought they of duty to endeavor themselves, by way of amends, to be a help and ornament thereunto.
Francis Bacon
We are much beholden to Machiavel and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do.
Francis Bacon
Some men covet knowledge out of a natural curiosity and inquisitive temper some to entertain the mind with variety and delight some for ornament and reputation some for victory and contention many for lucre and a livelihood and but few for employing the Divine gift of reason to the use and benefit of mankind.
Francis Bacon
Disciples do owe their masters only a temporary belief, and a suspension of their own judgment till they be fully instructed.
Francis Bacon
I'm just trying to make images as accurately as possible off my nervous system as I can.
Francis Bacon
To suffering there is a limit to fearing, none.
Francis Bacon
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
If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
Francis Bacon
Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true.
Francis Bacon
Since custom is the principal magistrate of man's life, let men by all means endeavor to obtain good customs.
Francis Bacon
Of all virtues and dignities of the mind, goodness is the greatest, being the character of the Deity and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing.
Francis Bacon
