Mysteries are due to secrecy.

He was reputed one of the wise men that made answer to the question when a man should marry? 'A young man not yet, an elder man not at all.'

When a bee stings, she dies. She cannot sting and live. When men sting, their better selves die. Every sting kills a better instinct. Men must not turn bees and kill themselves in stinging others.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I knew a wise man that had it for a by-word, when he saw men hasten to a conclusion, 'Stay a little, that we may make an end the sooner.'

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

One of the fathers saith . . ....

One of the fathers saith . . . that old men go to death, and death comes to young men.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The rising unto place is labor...

The rising unto place is laborious, and by pains men come to greater pains; and it is sometimes base, and by indignities men come to dignities. The standing is slippery, and the regress is either a downfall, or at least an eclipse.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Nor is mine a trumpet which su...

Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another; but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

When any of the four pillars of government-religion, justice, counsel, and treasure-are mainly shaken or weakened, men had need to pray for fair weather.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The noblest works and foundations have proceeded from childless men, which have sought to express the images of their minds where those of their bodies have failed.

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.

If I sit and daydream, the images rush by like a succession of colored slides.

I have often thought upon death, and I find it the least of all evils.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

A man were better relate himself to a statue or picture than to suffer his thoughts to pass in smother.

Innovations, which are the births of time.

The natures and dispositions of men are, not without truth, distinguished from the predominance of the planets.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I would like my pictures to look as if a human being had passed between them, like a snail leaving its trail of the human presence... as a snail leaves its slime.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Crafty men condemn studies; Simple men admire them; And wise men use them: For they teach not their own use: but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.

A little science estranges a man from God;
a lot of science brings him back.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I think that one of the things is that, if you are going to decide to be a painter, you have got to decide that you are not going to be afraid of making a fool of yourself. I think another thing is to be able to find subjects which really absorb you to try and do. I feel that without a subject you automatically go back into decoration because you haven't got the subject which is always eating into you to bring it back - and the greatest art always returns you to the vulnerability of the human situation.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness.
