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 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
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
We censure others but as they disagree from that humor which we fancy laudable in ourselves, and commend others but for that wherein they seem to quadrate and consent with us.
Thomas Browne
All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God.
Thomas Browne
What then is the wisdom of the times called old? Is it the wisdom of gray hairs? No. It is the wisdom of the cradle.
Thomas Browne
Art is the perfection of nature, ... nature is the art of God.
Thomas Browne
I love to lose myself in a mystery to pursue my reason to an O altitudo.
Thomas Browne
I have loved my friends as I do virtue, my soul, my God.
Thomas Browne
