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

More quotes by Thomas Browne
What song the Syrens sang, or what name Achilles assumed when he hid himself among women, though puzzling questions, are not beyond all conjecture.
Thomas Browne
Nor do they speak properly who say that time consumeth all things for time is not effective, nor are bodies destroyed by it.
Thomas Browne
All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God.
Thomas Browne
All the wonders you seek are within yourself.
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
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
The noblest Digladiation is in the Theatre of ourselves.
Thomas Browne
Were the happiness of the next world is as closely apprehended as the felicities of this, it were a martyrdom to live.
Thomas Browne
I love to lose myself in a mystery to pursue my reason to an O altitudo.
Thomas Browne
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
That some have never dreamed is as improbable as that some have never laughed.
Thomas Browne
To make an end of all things on Earth, and our Planetical System of the World, he (God) need but put out the Sun.
Thomas Browne
There are no grotesques in nature not anything framed to fill up empty cantons, and unnecessary spaces.
Thomas Browne
The created World is but a small Parenthesis in Eternity.
Thomas Browne
A wise man is out of the reach of fortune.
Thomas Browne
We do but learn to-day what our better advanced judgements will unteach us tomorrow.
Thomas Browne
Affection should not be too sharp eyed, and love is not made by magnifying glasses.
Thomas Browne
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
Let age, not envy, draw wrinkles on thy cheeks.
Thomas Browne
I have tried if I could reach that great resolution . . . to be honest without a thought of Heaven or Hell.
Thomas Browne
