Thomas Browne
Image
Affection should not be too sharp eyed, and love is not made by magnifying glasses.
Thomas Browne
Image
By compassion we make others' misery our own, and so, by relieving them, we relieve ourselves also.
Thomas Browne
Image

Thomas Browne
Image
Festination may prove Precipitation Deliberating delay may be wise cunctation.

Thomas Browne
Image
We carry within us the wonders we seek without us.
Thomas Browne
Image
Praise is a debt we owe unto the virtue of others, and due unto our own from all whom malice hath not made mutes, or envy struck dumb.
Thomas Browne
Image
If riches increase, let thy mind hold pace with them and think it not enough to be liberal, but munificent.
Thomas Browne
Image
He is rich who hath enough to be charitable.
Thomas Browne
Image
A little water makes a sea, a small puff of wind a Tempest.
Thomas Browne
Image
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
Image
I have loved my friends as I do virtue, my soul, my God.
Thomas Browne
Image
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
