More quotes by Francis Bacon

Image
Riches are a good hand maiden, but a poor mistress.
Francis Bacon
Image
Great boldness is seldom without some absurdity.
Francis Bacon
Image
Praise is the reflection of virtue.
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
The mold of our fortunes is in our own hands.
Francis Bacon
Image
Images also help me find and realise ideas. I look at hundreds of very different, contrasting images and I pinch details from them, rather like people who eat from other people`s plates.
Francis Bacon
Image
In revenge a man is but even with his enemy for it is a princely thing to pardon, and Solomon saith it is the glory of a man to pass over a transgression.
Francis Bacon
Image
Religion brought forth riches, and the daughter devoured the mother.
Francis Bacon
Image
A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others. For men's minds, will either feed upon their own good, or upon others' evil and who wanteth the one, will prey upon the other and whoso is out of hope, to attain to another's virtue, will seek to come at even hand, by depressing another's fortune.
Francis Bacon
Image
A good conscience is a continual feast.
Francis Bacon
Image
Rebellions of the belly are the worst.
Francis Bacon
Image
All authority must be out of a man's self, turned . . . either upon an art, or upon a man.
Francis Bacon
Image
An illustrational form tells you through the intelligence immediately what the form is about, whereas a non-illustrational form works first upon sensation and then slowly leaks back into the fact.
Francis Bacon
Image
I always think of myself not so much as a painter but as a medium for accident and chance.
Francis Bacon
Image
Art is man added to Nature.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.
Francis Bacon
Image
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand - and melting like a snowflake.
Francis Bacon
Image
For whatever deserves to exist deserves also to be known, for knowledge is the image of existence, and things mean and splendid exist alike.
Francis Bacon
Image
When I paint I am ageless, I just have the pleasure or the difficulty of painting.
Francis Bacon
