Thomas Browne
Image
I have often admired the mystical way of Pythagoras, and the secret magick of numbers.
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
That some have never dreamed is as improbable as that some have never laughed.
Thomas Browne
Image
Affection should not be too sharp eyed, and love is not made by magnifying glasses.
Thomas Browne

Many-have too rashly charged the troops of error, and remain as trophies unto the enemies of truth.
Thomas Browne
Image
There are no grotesques in nature not anything framed to fill up empty cantons, and unnecessary spaces.

I intend no Monopoly, but a Community in Learning I study not for my own sake only, but for theirs that study not for themselves.
Thomas Browne
Image
There is music wherever there is harmony, order and proportion and thus far we may maintain the music of the spheres for those well ordered motions, and regular paces, though they give no sound unto the ear, yet to the understanding they strike a note most full of harmony.
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
It is we that are blind, not fortune.
Thomas Browne
Image
There is something in us that can be without us, and will be after us, though indeed it hath no history of what it was before us, and cannot tell how it entered into us.
Thomas Browne
Image
Things evidently false are not only printed, but many things of truth most falsely set forth.
Thomas Browne
Image
Be able to be alone. Lose not the advantage of solitude.
Thomas Browne
Image
Women do most delight in revenge.
Thomas Browne
Image
Gardens were before gardeners, and but some hours after the earth.
Thomas Browne
Image
Content may dwell in all stations. To be low but above contempt may be high enough to be happy.
Thomas Browne
Image
Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living.
Thomas Browne
