More quotes by Francis Bacon
When I paint I am ageless, I just have the pleasure or the difficulty of painting.
Francis Bacon
The folly of one man is the fortune of another.
Francis Bacon
Every person born in the USA is endowed with life, liberty, and a substantial share of the national debt.
Francis Bacon
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
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
Reading maketh a full man.
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
Nothing doth so much keep men out of the Church, and drive men out of the Church, as breach of unity.
Francis Bacon
Revenge is a kind of wild justice.
Francis Bacon
In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy but in passing it over, he is superior.
Francis Bacon
It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.
Francis Bacon
Chiefly the mold of a man's fortune is in his own hands.
Francis Bacon
It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man's judgment
Francis Bacon
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
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
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.
Francis Bacon
In every great time there is some one idea at work which is more powerful than any other, and which shapes the events of the time and determines their ultimate issues.
Francis Bacon
Next to religion, let your care be to promote justice.
Francis Bacon
We must see whether the same clock with weights will go faster at the top of a mountain or at the bottom of a mine it is probable, if the pull of the weights decreases on the mountain and increases in the mine, that the earth has real attraction.
Francis Bacon
For a crowd is not company and faces are but a gallery of pictures and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.
Francis Bacon
