Image
Choose the life that is most useful, and habit will make it the most agreeable.
Francis Bacon
Image
Again there is another great and powerful cause why the sciences have made but little progress which is this. It is not possible to run a course aright when the goal itself has not been rightly placed.
Francis Bacon
Image
The natures and dispositions of men are, not without truth, distinguished from the predominance of the planets.
Francis Bacon

If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
Francis Bacon
Image
We are much beholden to Machiavel and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do.
Francis Bacon
Image
You want accuracy, but not representation. If you know how to make the figuration, it doesn't work. Anything you can make, you make by accident. In painting, you have to know what you do, not how, when you do it.
Francis Bacon

Liberty of speech invites and provokes liberty to be used again, and so bringeth much to a man's knowledge.
Francis Bacon
Image
A bachelor's life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner.
Francis Bacon

Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.
Francis Bacon
Image
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience.

Francis Bacon
Image
Revenge is a kind of wild justice.
Francis Bacon
Image
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon
Image
The human understanding is no dry light, but receives an infusion from the will and affections... What a man had rather were true he more readily believes.
Francis Bacon
Image
Painting gave meaning to my life which without it would not have had
Francis Bacon
Image
Man was formed for society.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
Image
Lies are sufficient to breed opinion, and opinion brings on substance.
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.
