More quotes by Thomas Browne
Be Charitable before wealth make thee covetous, and loose not the glory of the Mite.
Thomas Browne
There are no grotesques in nature not anything framed to fill up empty cantons, and unnecessary spaces.
Thomas Browne
Think not silence the wisdom of fools but, if rightly timed, the honor of wise men, who have not the infirmity, but the virtue of taciturnity.
Thomas Browne
Flattery is a juggler, and no kin unto sincerity.
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 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

Thomas Browne
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

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
He who discommendeth others obliquely commendeth himself (Christian morals).
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
Yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner.
Thomas Browne
Be able to be alone. Lose not the advantage of solitude.
Thomas Browne
Things evidently false are not only printed, but many things of truth most falsely set forth.
Thomas Browne
Affection should not be too sharp eyed, and love is not made by magnifying glasses.
Thomas Browne
We do but learn to-day what our better advanced judgements will unteach us tomorrow.
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
