Thomas Browne
Image
I would not live over my hours past ... not unto Cicero's ground because I have lived them well, but for fear I should live them worse.
Thomas Browne
Image
Flattery is a juggler, and no kin unto sincerity.
Thomas Browne
Image
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
Image
By compassion we make others' misery our own, and so, by relieving them, we relieve ourselves also.
Thomas Browne
Image
To be nameless in worthy deeds exceeds an infamous history.
Thomas Browne
Image
I could be content that we might procreate like trees, without conjunction, or that we were any way to perpetuate the world without this trivial and vulgar way of coition it is the foolishest act a wise man commits in all his life.
