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
Charity begins at home, is the voice of the world.
Thomas Browne
Image
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
I can cure the gout or stone in some, sooner than Divinity, Pride, or Avarice in others.
Thomas Browne
Image
There is no such thing as solitude, nor anything that can be said to be alone and by itself but God, who is His own circle, and can subsist by Himself.
Thomas Browne
Image
A wise man is out of the reach of fortune.
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
Obstinacy in a bad cause is but constancy in a good.
Thomas Browne
