More quotes by 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
For my part, I have ever believed, and do now know, that there are witches.
Thomas Browne
I would not live over my hours past ... not unto Cicero's ground because I have lived them well, but for fear I should live them worse.
Thomas Browne
We do but learn to-day what our better advanced judgements will unteach us tomorrow.
Thomas Browne
Grave-stones tell truth scarce forty years. Generations pass while families last not three oaks.
Thomas Browne

Thomas Browne
I have tried if I could reach that great resolution . . . to be honest without a thought of Heaven or Hell.
Thomas Browne
The created World is but a small Parenthesis in Eternity.
Thomas Browne

Thomas Browne
Art is the perfection of nature, ... nature is the art of God.
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
To be nameless in worthy deeds exceeds an infamous history.
Thomas Browne
There are no grotesques in nature not anything framed to fill up empty cantons, and unnecessary spaces.
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
I intend no Monopoly, but a Community in Learning I study not for my own sake only, but for theirs that study not for themselves.
Thomas Browne
As sins proceed they ever multiply, and like figures in arithmetic, the last stands for more than all that wert before it.
Thomas Browne
Should your riches increase, let your mind keep pace with them.
Thomas Browne
Men have lost their reason in nothing so much as their religion, wherein stones and clouts make martyrs.
Thomas Browne
Let age, not envy, draw wrinkles on thy cheeks.
Thomas Browne
