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
To ruminate upon evils, to make critical notes upon injuries, and be too acute in their apprehensions, is to add unto our own tortures, to feather the arrows of our enemies, to lash ourselves with the scorpions of our foes, and to resolve to sleep no more.
Thomas Browne
By compassion we make others' misery our own, and so, by relieving them, we relieve ourselves also.
Thomas Browne
Since women do most delight in revenge, it may seem but feminine manhood to be vindictive.
Thomas Browne
It is we that are blind, not fortune.
Thomas Browne
