Charity But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves? Charity begins at home, is the voice of the world yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner.
Thomas Browne
Image
Women do most delight in revenge.
Thomas Browne
Image
Think it more satisfactory to live richly than die rich.
Thomas Browne
Image
All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God.
Thomas Browne
Image
Gold once out of the earth is no more due unto it what was unreasonably committed to the ground, is reasonably resumed from it let monuments and rich fabricks, not riches, adorn men's ashes.
Thomas Browne
Image
Affection should not be too sharp eyed, and love is not made by magnifying glasses.
Thomas Browne
Image
Every Country hath its Machiavel.
Thomas Browne
Image
There is another man within me that's angry with me.
Thomas Browne
Image
Where we desire to be informed 'tis good to contest with men above ourselves but to confirm and establish our opinions, 'tis best to argue with judgments below our own, that the frequent spoils and victories over their reasons may settle in ourselves an esteem and confirmed opinion of our own.
Thomas Browne
Image
Let age, not envy, draw wrinkles on thy cheeks.
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
Whosoever enjoys not this life, I count him but an apparition, though he wear about him the sensible affections of flesh. In these moral acceptions, the way to be immortal is to die daily.
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
The heart of man is the place the devil dwells in I feel sometimes a hell within myself.
Thomas Browne
Image
With what shift and pains we come into the World we remember not but 'tis commonly found no easy matter to get out of it.
Thomas Browne
Image
Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living.
Thomas Browne
Image
Think not silence the wisdom of fools but, if rightly timed, the honor of wise men, who have not the infirmity, but the virtue of taciturnity.
Thomas Browne
Image
Gardens were before gardeners, and but some hours after the earth.
Thomas Browne
Image
For God is like a skilfull Geometrician.

Flattery is a juggler, and no kin unto sincerity.
