More quotes by Thomas Browne
All the wonders you seek are within yourself.
Thomas Browne
There is another man within me that's angry with me.
Thomas Browne
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
For there is a music wherever there is a harmony, order, or proportion, and thus far we may maintain the music of the spheres.
Thomas Browne
Rough diamonds may sometimes be mistaken for worthless pebbles.
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
Man is a noble animal, splendid in ashes, and pompous in the grave.
Thomas Browne
Art is the perfection of nature, ... nature is the art of God.
Thomas Browne

Thomas Browne
There is a rabble among the gentry as well as the commonalty a sort of plebeian heads whose fancy moves with the same wheel as these men?in the same level with mechanics, though their fortunes do sometimes gild their infirmities and their purses compound for their follies.
Thomas Browne
There is no man alone, because every man is a Microcosm, and carries the whole world about him.
Thomas Browne
We term sleep a death, and yet it is waking that kills us, and destroys those spirits that are the house of life.
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
For the world, I count it not an inn, but a hospital and a place not to live, but to die in.
Thomas Browne
Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.
Thomas Browne
He that unburied lies wants not his hearse, For unto him a tomb's the Universe.
Thomas Browne
He who discommendeth others obliquely commendeth himself (Christian morals).
Thomas Browne
Be able to be alone. Lose not the advantage of solitude.
Thomas Browne
God hath varied the inclinations of men according to the variety of actions to be performed.
Thomas Browne
Where we desire to be informed 'tis good to contest with men above ourselves but to confirm and establish our opinions, 'tis best to argue with judgments below our own, that the frequent spoils and victories over their reasons may settle in ourselves an esteem and confirmed opinion of our own.
Thomas Browne
