Thomas Browne
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
Should your riches increase, let your mind keep pace with them.
Thomas Browne
But the iniquity of oblivion blindly scattereth her poppy, and deals with the memory of men without distinction to merit of perpetuity.
Thomas Browne
Circles and right lines limit and close all bodies, and the mortal right-lined circle must conclude and shut up all.
Thomas Browne

Thomas Browne
Affection should not be too sharp eyed, and love is not made by magnifying glasses.
Thomas Browne
All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God.
Thomas Browne
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
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
The long habit of living indisposeth us for dying.
Thomas Browne
A wise man is out of the reach of fortune.
Thomas Browne
