To be low but above contempt may be high enough to be happy  (Thomas Browne Quotes) Tis hard to find a whole age to imitate, or what century to propose for example  (Thomas Browne Quotes) If riches increase, let thy mind hold pace with them; and think it not enough to be liberal, but munificent  (Thomas Browne Quotes) Let the fruition of things bless the possession of them, and take no satisfaction in dying but living rich  (Thomas Browne Quotes) Things evidently false are not only printed, but many things of truth most falsely set forth  (Thomas Browne Quotes) Since women do most delight in revenge, it may seem but feminine manhood to be vindictive  (Thomas Browne Quotes) The world, which took six days to make, is likely to take us six thousand years to make out  (Thomas Browne Quotes) I cannot tell by what logic we call a toad, a bear, or an elephant ugly; they being created in those outward shapes and figures which best express the actions of their inward forms  (Thomas Browne Quotes) We term sleep a death by which we may be literally said to die daily; in fine, so like death, I dare not trust it without my prayers  (Thomas Browne Quotes) Sleep is death’s younger brother, and so like him, that I never dare trust him without my prayers  (Thomas Browne Quotes) Think not thy time short in this world, since the world itself is not long.
