Image
Without friends the world is but a wilderness.
Francis Bacon
Image
The fortune which nobody sees makes a person happy and unenvied.
Francis Bacon
Image
If you want to convey fact, this can only ever be done through a form of distortion. You must distort to transform what is called appearance into image.
Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
But we are not dedicating or building any Capitol or Pyramid to human Pride, but found a holy temple in the human Intellect, on the model of the Universe... For whatever is worthy of Existence is worthy of Knowledge-which is the Image (or Echo) of Existence.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is impossible to love and to be wise.

By this means we presume we have established for ever, a true and legitimate marriage between the Empirical and Rational faculty whose fastidious and unfortunate divorce and separation hath troubled and disordered the whole race and generation of mankind.
Francis Bacon
Image
God hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Image
There is nothing makes a man suspect much, more than to know little, and therefore men should remedy suspicion by procuring to know more, and not keep their suspicions in smother.
Francis Bacon
Image
Science is but an image of the truth.
Francis Bacon
Image
The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.
Francis Bacon
Image
Great changes are easier than small ones.
Francis Bacon
Image
It cannot be that axioms established by argumentation should avail for the discovery of new works, since the subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of argument. But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active.
Francis Bacon
Image
The inquiry of truth, which is the love-making, or the wooing of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human nature.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is natural to die as to be born.
Francis Bacon
Image
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.
Francis Bacon
Image
He of whom many are afraid ought himself to fear many.
Francis Bacon
