Thomas Browne
By compassion we make others' misery our own, and so, by relieving them, we relieve ourselves also.
Thomas Browne
We do but learn to-day what our better advanced judgements will unteach us tomorrow.

The created World is but a small Parenthesis in Eternity.
Thomas Browne
I believe the world grows near its end, yet is neither old nor decayed, nor will ever perish upon the ruins of its own principles.
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
There are no grotesques in nature not anything framed to fill up empty cantons, and unnecessary spaces.
Thomas Browne
Charity begins at home, is the voice of the world.
Thomas Browne
Think it more satisfactory to live richly than die rich.
Thomas Browne

Thomas Browne
Where I cannot satisfy my reason, I love to humour my fancy.
Thomas Browne
We term sleep a death, and yet it is waking that kills us, and destroys those spirits that are the house of life.
Thomas Browne
There is no man alone, because every man is a Microcosm, and carries the whole world about him.
Thomas Browne
There is another man within me that's angry with me.
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
For my part, I have ever believed, and do now know, that there are witches.
Thomas Browne
With what shift and pains we come into the World we remember not but 'tis commonly found no easy matter to get out of it.
Thomas Browne
Rough diamonds may sometimes be mistaken for worthless pebbles.
Thomas Browne
