There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.
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
Image
All will come out in the washing.
Francis Bacon
Image
But we are not dedicating or building any Capitol or Pyramid to human Pride, but found a holy temple in the human Intellect, on the model of the Universe... For whatever is worthy of Existence is worthy of Knowledge-which is the Image (or Echo) of Existence.

There is in human nature generally more of the fool than of the wise.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
Cleanness of body was ever deemed to proceed from a due reverence to God.
Francis Bacon
Image
A man who contemplates revenge keeps his wounds green.
Francis Bacon
Image
I should have been, I don't know, a con-man, a robber or a prostitute. But it was vanity that made me choose painting, vanity and chance.
Francis Bacon
Image
Croesus said to Cambyses That peace was better than war because in peace the sons did bury their fathers, but in wars the fathers did bury their sons.
