All the wonders you seek are within yourself.
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 no royal road or ready way to virtue.
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
A wise man is out of the reach of fortune.
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 is rich who hath enough to be charitable.
