Thomas Browne
Image
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
Image
I believe the world grows near its end, yet is neither old nor decayed, nor will ever perish upon the ruins of its own principles.
Thomas Browne
Image
Yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner.
Thomas Browne
Image
It is the common wonder of all men, how among so many million faces, there should be none alike.
Thomas Browne
Image
There is no man alone, because every man is a Microcosm, and carries the whole world about him.
Thomas Browne
Image
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.
