Thomas Browne
A little water makes a sea, a small puff of wind a Tempest.
Thomas Browne
It is the common wonder of all men, how among so many million faces, there should be none alike.
Thomas Browne
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
I could be content that we might procreate like trees, without conjunction, or that we were any way to perpetuate the world without this trivial and vulgar way of coition it is the foolishest act a wise man commits in all his life.
Thomas Browne
We do but learn to-day what our better advanced judgements will unteach us tomorrow.
Thomas Browne
