More quotes by Francis Bacon
Great changes are easier than small ones.
Francis Bacon
Photographs are not only points of reference... they're often triggers of ideas.
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
Upon a given body to generate and superinduce a new nature or new natures is the work and aim of human power. To discover the Form of a given nature, or its true difference, or its causal nature, or fount of its emanation... this is the work and aim of human knowledge.
Francis Bacon
Friends are thieves of time.
Francis Bacon
Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.
Francis Bacon
Some paint comes across directly onto the nervous system and other paint tells you the story in a long diatribe through the brain.
Francis Bacon
The remedy is worse than the disease.
Francis Bacon
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
The first question concerning the Celestial Bodies is whether there be a system, that is whether the world or universe compose together one globe, with a center, or whether the particular globes of earth and stars be scattered dispersedly, each on its own roots, without any system or common center.
Francis Bacon
It is idle to expect any great advancement in science from the superinducing and engrafting of new things upon old. We must begin anew from the very foundations, unless we would revolve for ever in a circle with mean and contemptible progress.
Francis Bacon
The noblest works and foundations have proceeded from childless men, which have sought to express the images of their minds where those of their bodies have failed.
Francis Bacon
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience. He that travelleth into a country before he hath some entrance into the language, goeth to school, and not to travel.
Francis Bacon
It cannot be denied that outward accidents conduce much to fortune, favor, opportunity, death of others, occasion fitting virtue but chiefly, the mold of a man's fortune is in his own hands
Francis Bacon
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
Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves with facts.
Francis Bacon
The place of justice is a hallowed place.
Francis Bacon
Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.
Francis Bacon
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
Francis Bacon
To spend too much time in studies is sloth to use them too much for ornament is affection to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar.
Francis Bacon
