Thomas Browne
Image
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

It is the common wonder of all men, how among so many million faces, there should be none alike.
Thomas Browne
Image
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
Image
Be Charitable before wealth make thee covetous, and loose not the glory of the Mite.
Thomas Browne
Image
Sleep is death's younger brother, and so like him, that I never dare trust him without my prayers.
Thomas Browne
Image
We do but learn to-day what our better advanced judgements will unteach us tomorrow.
Thomas Browne
Image
It is we that are blind, not fortune.
Thomas Browne
