I don't think people are born artists I think it comes from a mixture of your surroundings, the people you meet, and luck.
Francis Bacon
Image
Rather to excite your judgment briefly than to inform it tediously.
Francis Bacon
Image
No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage-ground of truth.
Francis Bacon

Learning teaches how to carry things in suspense, without prejudice, till you resolve it.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Image
A principal fruit of friendship, is the ease and discharge of the fullness and swellings of the heart, which passions of all kinds do cause and induce.
Francis Bacon
Image
Reading maketh a full man and writing an axact man. And, therefore, if a man write little, he need have a present wit and if he read little, he need have much cunning to seem to know which he doth not.
Francis Bacon
Image
Journeys at youth are part of the education but at maturity, are part of the experience.
Francis Bacon
Image
The general root of superstition is that men observe when things hit, and not when they miss, and commit to memory the one, and pass over the other.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no vice that doth so cover a man with shame as to be found false and perfidious.
Francis Bacon

A bachelor's life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner.
