More quotes by 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
Yes, even amongst wiser militants, how many wounds have been given, and credits slain, for the poor victory of an opinion, or beggarly conquest of a distinction.
Thomas Browne
Think it more satisfactory to live richly than die rich.
Thomas Browne
The heart of man is the place the devil dwells in I feel sometimes a hell within myself.
Thomas Browne
Be able to be alone. Lose not the advantage of solitude.
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
For the world, I count it not an inn, but a hospital and a place not to live, but to die in.
Thomas Browne
By compassion we make others' misery our own, and so, by relieving them, we relieve ourselves also.
Thomas Browne
Gardens were before gardeners, and but some hours after the earth.
Thomas Browne
If riches increase, let thy mind hold pace with them and think it not enough to be liberal, but munificent.
Thomas Browne
The severe schools shall never laugh me out of the philosophy of Hermes, that this visible world is but a picture of the invisible, wherein as in a portrait, things are not truly, but in equivocal shapes, and as they counterfeit some real substance in that invisible fabric.
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
We term sleep a death by which we may be literally said to die daily in fine, so like death, I dare not trust it without my prayers.
Thomas Browne
I can cure the gout or stone in some, sooner than Divinity, Pride, or Avarice in others.
Thomas Browne
The long habit of living indisposeth us for dying.
Thomas Browne
But the iniquity of oblivion blindly scattereth her poppy, and deals with the memory of men without distinction to merit of perpetuity.
Thomas Browne
Circles and right lines limit and close all bodies, and the mortal right-lined circle must conclude and shut up all.
Thomas Browne
Times before you, when even the living men were Antiquities when the living might exceed the dead, and to depart this world, could not be properly said, to go unto the greater number.
Thomas Browne
Obstinacy in a bad cause is but constancy in a good.
Thomas Browne
Gold once out of the earth is no more due unto it what was unreasonably committed to the ground, is reasonably resumed from it let monuments and rich fabricks, not riches, adorn men's ashes.
Thomas Browne
