Image
But men must know, that in this theatre of man's life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.
Francis Bacon
Image
Generally, youth is like the first cogitations, not so wise as the second. For there is a youth in thoughts, as well as in ages. And yet the invention of young men, is more lively than that of old and imaginations stream into their minds better, and, as it were, more divinely.
Francis Bacon
Image
A king that would not feel his crown too heavy for him, must wear it every day but if he think it too light, he knoweth not of what metal it is made.
Francis Bacon
Image
He that will not apply new remedies, must expect new evils: for Time is the greatest innovator: and if Time, of course, alter things to the worse, and wisdom and counsel shall not alter them to the better, what shall be the end?.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Image

Francis Bacon
Image
The mold of our fortunes is in our own hands.
Francis Bacon
Image
Man was formed for society.
Francis Bacon
Image
I'll follow, as they say, for reward. He that rewards me, God reward him. If I do grow great, I'll grow less for I'll purge, and leave sack, and live cleanly, as a nobleman should do.
Francis Bacon
Image
The divisions of science are not like different lines that meet in one angle, but rather like the branches of trees that join in one trunk.
Francis Bacon
Image
The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.
Francis Bacon
Image
The mystery lies in the irrationality by which you make appearance - if it is not irrational, you make illustration.
Francis Bacon
Image
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience.
Francis Bacon
Image
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
Francis Bacon
Image
I usually accept bribes from both sides so that tainted money can never influence my decision.
Francis Bacon
