Wise sayings are not only for ornament, but for action and business, having a point or edge, whereby knots in business are pierced and discovered.
Francis Bacon
Image
For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocence, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.
Francis Bacon
Image
The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.
Francis Bacon
Image
The genius, wit, and the spirit of a nation are discovered by their proverbs.
Francis Bacon

Knowledge is power.
Francis Bacon

There is in human nature generally more of the fool than of the wise.
Francis Bacon

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
He of whom many are afraid ought himself to fear many.
Francis Bacon
Image
Journeys at youth are part of the education but at maturity, are part of the experience.
Francis Bacon
Image
A picture should be a re-creation of an event rather than an illustration of an object but there is no tension in the picture unless there is a struggle with the object.
Francis Bacon
Image
When Christ came into the world, peace was sung and when He went out of the world, peace was bequeathed.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
We see then how far the monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands. For have not the verses of Homer continued twenty-five hundred years or more, without the loss of a syllable or letter during which time infinite palaces, temples, castles, cities have been decayed and demolished?
Francis Bacon
Image
Consistency is the foundation of virtue.
Francis Bacon
Image
Rebellions of the belly are the worst.
Francis Bacon
Image
The breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air than in the hand.
Francis Bacon
Image
We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.
Francis Bacon
Image
I'm just trying to make images as accurately as possible off my nervous system as I can.
Francis Bacon
Image
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.
Francis Bacon
Image
All the crimes on earth do not destroy so many of the human race nor alienate so much property as drunkenness.
Francis Bacon
