Thomas Browne
Image
There is a rabble among the gentry as well as the commonalty a sort of plebeian heads whose fancy moves with the same wheel as these men?in the same level with mechanics, though their fortunes do sometimes gild their infirmities and their purses compound for their follies.
Thomas Browne
Image
Men have lost their reason in nothing so much as their religion, wherein stones and clouts make martyrs.
Thomas Browne
Image
He that unburied lies wants not his hearse, For unto him a tomb's the Universe.
