Francis Bacon
Image
Reading maketh a full man conference a ready man and writing an exact man.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is natural to die as to be born.
Francis Bacon

Every person born in the USA is endowed with life, liberty, and a substantial share of the national debt.
Francis Bacon
Image
Reading maketh a full man and writing an axact man. And, therefore, if a man write little, he need have a present wit and if he read little, he need have much cunning to seem to know which he doth not.

Francis Bacon
Image
There is no passion in the mind of man so weak, but it mates and masters the fear of death . . . Revenge triumphs over death love slights it honor aspireth to it grief flieth to it.
Francis Bacon
Image
Base and crafty cowards are like the arrow that flieth in the dark.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Image

Francis Bacon
Image
For first of all we must prepare a Natural and Experimental History, sufficient and good and this is the foundation of all for we are not to imagine or suppose, but to discover, what nature does or may be made to do.
Francis Bacon
Image
Great art is always a way of concentrating, reinventing what is called fact, what we know of our existence- a reconcentration… tearing away the veils, the attitudes people acquire of their time and earlier time. Really good artists tear down those veils
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
There is another ground of hope that must not be omitted. Let men but think over their infinite expenditure of understanding, time, and means on matters and pursuits of far less use and value whereof, if but a small part were directed to sound and solid studies, there is no difficulty that might not be overcome.
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
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
