There is a cunning which we in England call 'the turning of the cat' in the pan; which is, when that which a man says to another, he says it as if another had said it to him.

When I paint I am ageless, I just have the pleasure or the difficulty of painting.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I foresee it and yet I hardly ever carry it out as I foresee it. It transforms itself by the actual paint. I don't in fact know very often what the paint will do, and it does many things which are very much better than I could make it do.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

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. And though there be a greater number and weight of instances to be found on the other side, yet these it either neglects and despises, or else by some distinction sets aside and rejects, in order that by this great and pernicious predetermination the authority of its former conclusions may remain inviolate.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

In every great time there is some one idea at work which is more powerful than any other, and which shapes the events of the time and determines their ultimate issues.

Those that want friends to open themselves unto are cannibals of their own hearts.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament is affection; to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Princes are like heavenly bodies, which cause good or evil times, and which have much veneration, but no rest.
