More quotes by Francis Bacon
It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.
Francis Bacon
Whence we see spiders, flies, or ants entombed and preserved forever in amber, a more than royal tomb.
Francis Bacon
But the images of men's wits and knowledges remain in books, exempted from the wrong of time, and capable of perpetual renovation.
Francis Bacon
For friends... do but look upon good Books: they are true friends, that will neither flatter nor dissemble.
Francis Bacon
Let no one think or maintain that a person can search too far or be too well studied in either the book of God's word or the book of God's works.
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
Certainly, it is heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.
Francis Bacon
But I account the use that a man should seek of the publishing of his own writings before his death, to be but an untimely anticipation of that which is proper to follow a man, and not to go along with him.
Francis Bacon
There are two books laid before us to study, to prevent our falling into error first, the volume of the Scriptures, which reveal the will of God then the volume of the Creatures, which express His power.
Francis Bacon
It is impossible to love and to be wise.
Francis Bacon
Out of monuments, names, words proverbs ...and the like, we do save and recover somewhat from the deluge of time.
Francis Bacon
The breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air than in the hand.
Francis Bacon
The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.
Francis Bacon
If we are to achieve things never before accomplished we must employ methods never before attempted
Francis Bacon
Very few people have a natural feeling for painting, and so, of course, they naturally think that painting is an expression of the artist's mood. But it rarely is. Very often he may be in greatest despair and be painting his happiest paintings.
Francis Bacon
A man finds himself seven years older the day after his marriage.
Francis Bacon
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.
Francis Bacon
Because the acts or events of true history have not that magnitude which satisfieth the mind of man, poesy feigneth acts and events greater and more heroical.
Francis Bacon
It is natural to die as to be born.
Francis Bacon
Painting gave meaning to my life which without it would not have had
