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

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

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

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

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

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

Not worthy to carry the buckle...

Not worthy to carry the buckler unto him.

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

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

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

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

Gravestones tell truth scarce ...

Gravestones tell truth scarce forty years.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

To be nameless in worthy deeds...

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

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Est rosa flos Veneris cujus quo furta laterent. [Roughly meaning, The discourses of the table among true loving friends are held in strict silence.]

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

When we desire to confine our words, we commonly say they are spoken under the rose.

God is like a skilful Geometrician.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Though it be in the power of t...

Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Charity But how shall we expec...

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.

Sir Thomas Browne 101 quotes

Man is a noble animal, splendi...

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

We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
