More quotes by Thomas Browne
Since women do most delight in revenge, it may seem but feminine manhood to be vindictive.
Thomas Browne
Obstinacy in a bad cause is but constancy in a good.
Thomas Browne
Oblivion is not to be hired.
Thomas Browne
Should your riches increase, let your mind keep pace with them.
Thomas Browne
To extend our memories by monuments, whose death we daily pray for, and whose duration we cannot hope, without injury to our expectations in the advent of the last day, were a contradiction to our belief.
Thomas Browne
To ruminate upon evils, to make critical notes upon injuries, and be too acute in their apprehensions, is to add unto our own tortures, to feather the arrows of our enemies, to lash ourselves with the scorpions of our foes, and to resolve to sleep no more.
Thomas Browne
Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignty of humor and passion.
Thomas Browne
Where I cannot satisfy my reason, I love to humour my fancy.
Thomas Browne
Suicide is not to fear death, but yet to be afraid of life. It is a brave act of valour to contemn death but when life is more terrible than death, it is then the truest valour to dare to live and herein religion hath taught us a noble example, for all the valiant acts of Curtius, Scarvola, or Codrus, do not parallel or match that one of Job.
Thomas Browne
I cannot tell by what logic we call a toad, a bear, or an elephant ugly they being created in those outward shapes and figures which best express the actions of their inward forms.
Thomas Browne
God hath varied the inclinations of men according to the variety of actions to be performed.
Thomas Browne
By compassion we make others' misery our own, and so, by relieving them, we relieve ourselves also.
Thomas Browne
I have loved my friends as I do virtue, my soul, my God.
Thomas Browne
Were the happiness of the next world is as closely apprehended as the felicities of this, it were a martyrdom to live.
Thomas Browne
Content may dwell in all stations. To be low but above contempt may be high enough to be happy.
Thomas Browne
He that unburied lies wants not his hearse, For unto him a tomb's the Universe.
Thomas Browne
Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.
Thomas Browne
He is rich who hath enough to be charitable.
Thomas Browne
Yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner.
Thomas Browne
Now with my friend I desire not to share or participate, but to engross his sorrows, that, by making them mine own, I may more easily discuss them for in mine own reason, and within myself, I can command that which I cannot entreat without myself, and within the circle of another.
Thomas Browne
