Image
God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.
Francis Bacon
Image
We only have our nervous system to paint.
Francis Bacon
Image
My praise shall be dedicated to the mind itself. The mind is the man, and the knowledge is the mind. A man is but what he knoweth. The mind is but an accident to knowledge, for knowledge is the double of that which is.
Francis Bacon
Image
Reading maketh a full man conference a ready man and writing an exact man.
Francis Bacon
Image
All good moral philosophy is ... but the handmaid to religion.

Francis Bacon
Image
It's not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.
Francis Bacon
Image
Time is the author of authors.
Francis Bacon
Image
Human knowledge and human power meet in one for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.
Francis Bacon
Image
God hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.
