If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
Francis Bacon
The breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air than in the hand.
Francis Bacon
I believe in deeply ordered chaos
Francis Bacon
As you work, the mood grows on you. There are certain images which suddenly get hold of me and I really want to do them. But it's true to say that the excitement and possibilities are in the working and obviously can only come in the working.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
There is nothing more certain in nature than that it is impossible for any body to be utterly annihilated.
Francis Bacon
That which above all other yields the sweetest smell in the air is the violet.

The partitions of knowledge are not like several lines that meet in one angle, and so touch not in a point but are like branches of a tree, that meet in a stem, which hath a dimension and quantity of entireness and continuance, before it come to discontinue and break itself into arms and boughs.
Francis Bacon
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon
Seek ye first the good things of the mind, and the rest will either be supplied or its loss will not be felt.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Prosperity discovers vice, adversity discovers virtue.
Francis Bacon
Laws and Institutions Must Go Hand in Hand with the Progress of the Human Mind.
Francis Bacon
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
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience.
Francis Bacon
Opportunity makes a thief.
Francis Bacon
Of all the things in nature, the formation and endowment of man was singled out by the ancients.
Francis Bacon
Liberty of speech invites and provokes liberty to be used again, and so bringeth much to a man's knowledge.
Francis Bacon
It is in life as it is in ways, the shortest way is commonly the foulest, and surely the fairer way is not much about.
Francis Bacon
The ill and unfit choice of words wonderfully obstructs the understanding.
Francis Bacon
