To be nameless in worthy deeds...

To be nameless in worthy deeds, exceeds an infamous history.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Gravestones tell truth scarce ...

Gravestones tell truth scarce forty years.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

He that unburied lies wants no...

He that unburied lies wants not his hearse,
For unto him a tomb's the Universe.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Herostratus lives that burnt t...

Herostratus lives that burnt the temple of Diana; he is almost
lost that built it.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Gold once out of the earth is ...

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.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

To extend our memories by monu...

To extend our memories by monuments, whose death we daily pray
for, and whose duration we cannot hope, without injury to our
expectations in the advent of the last day, were a contradiction
to our belief.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Man is a noble animal, splendi...

Man is a noble animal, splendid in ashes and pompous in the
grave.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Not worthy to carry the buckle...

Not worthy to carry the buckler unto him.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

The severe schools shall never...

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.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Think not thy time short in th...

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.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Where we desire to be informed...

Where we desire to be informed 'tis good to contest with men
above ourselves; but to confirm and establish our opinions, 'tis
best to argue with judgments below our own, that the frequent
spoils and victories over their reasons may settle in ourselves
an esteem and confirmed opinion of our own.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Have too rashly charged the tr...

Have too rashly charged the troops of error and remain as
trophies unto the enemies of truth.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Since the Brother of Death dai...

Since the Brother of Death daily haunts us with dying mementoes.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Sleep is a death, O make me tr...

Sleep is a death, O make me try,
By sleeping, what it is to die:
And as gently lay my head
On my grave, as now my bed.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Rich with the spoils of nature...

Rich with the spoils of nature.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

There are no grotesques in nature; not anything framed to fill up
empty cantons, and unnecessary spaces.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Now nature is not at variance ...

Now nature is not at variance with art, nor art with nature; they
being both the servants of his providence. Art is the perfection
of nature. Were the world now as it was the sixth day, there
were yet a chaos. Nature hath made one world, and art another.
In brief, all things are artificial; for nature is the art of
God.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Every man is his own greatest ...

Every man is his own greatest enemy, and as it were his own
executioner.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

The voice of the world ['Char...

The voice of the world ['Charity begins at home'].

All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God.
