More quotes by Thomas Browne

Image
There is no such thing as solitude, nor anything that can be said to be alone and by itself but God, who is His own circle, and can subsist by Himself.
Thomas Browne
Image
We term sleep a death, and yet it is waking that kills us, and destroys those spirits that are the house of life.
Thomas Browne
Image
Light that makes things seen, makes some things invisible.
Thomas Browne
Image
To make an end of all things on Earth, and our Planetical System of the World, he (God) need but put out the Sun.
Thomas Browne
Image
There is music wherever there is harmony, order and proportion and thus far we may maintain the music of the spheres for those well ordered motions, and regular paces, though they give no sound unto the ear, yet to the understanding they strike a note most full of harmony.
Thomas Browne
Image
Since women do most delight in revenge, it may seem but feminine manhood to be vindictive.
Thomas Browne
Image
Think not thy time short in this world, since the world itself is not long. The created world is but a small parenthesis in eternity, and a short interposition, for a time, between such a state of duration as was before it and may be after it.
Thomas Browne
Image
Rough diamonds may sometimes be mistaken for worthless pebbles.
Thomas Browne
Image
There is no royal road or ready way to virtue.
Thomas Browne
Image
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
Image
Things evidently false are not only printed, but many things of truth most falsely set forth.
Thomas Browne
Image
Obstinacy in a bad cause is but constancy in a good.
Thomas Browne
Image
The heart of man is the place the devil dwells in I feel sometimes a hell within myself.
Thomas Browne
Image
We carry within us the wonders we seek without us.
Thomas Browne
Image
It is we that are blind, not fortune.
Thomas Browne
Image
Where I cannot satisfy my reason, I love to humour my fancy.
Thomas Browne
Image
Praise is a debt we owe unto the virtue of others, and due unto our own from all whom malice hath not made mutes, or envy struck dumb.
Thomas Browne
Image
He who discommendeth others obliquely commendeth himself (Christian morals).
Thomas Browne
Image
Be Charitable before wealth make thee covetous, and loose not the glory of the Mite.
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
