Text Quotes
The Soul is shriveled up and buried in a grave that does not love  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) An empty book is like an infant’s soul, in which anything may be written. It is capable of all things, but containeth nothing. I have a mind to fill this with profitable wonders.  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) And every stone and every star a tongue, And every gale of wind a curious song. The Heavens were an oracle, and spoke Divinity: the Earth did undertake The office of a priest; and I being dumb (Nothing besides was dumb) all things did come With voices and instructions...  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) By this you may see who are the rude and barbarous Indians: For verily there is no savage nation under the cope of Heaven, that is more absurdly barbarous than the Christian World. They that go naked and drink water and live upon roots are like Adam, or Angels in comparison of us  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) To think the world therefore a general Bedlam, or place of madmen, and oneself a physician, is the most necessary point of present wisdom: an important imagination, and the way to happiness  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) Natural things are glorious, and to know them is glorious  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) The world is a mirror of infinite beauty, yet no man sees it  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) You are as prone to love, as the sun is to shine  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) We love we know not what, and therefore everything allures us  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) You never know yourself till you know more than your body  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) More company increases happiness, but does not lighten or diminish misery  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) A little grit in the eye destroyeth the sight of the very heavens, and a little malice or envy a world of joys. One wry principle in the mind is of infinite consequence  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) Is it not strange, that an infant should be heir of the whole world, and see those mysteries which the books of the learned never unfold?  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) We do not ignore maturity. Maturity consists in not losing the past while fully living in the present with a prudent awareness of the possibilities of the future  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) Happiness was not made to be boasted, but enjoyed. Therefore tho others count me miserable, I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy; nor fear them  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) I will not by the noise of bloody wars and the dethroning of kings advance you to glory: but by the gentle ways of peace and love  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) You are as prone to love as the sun is to shine; it being the most delightful and natural employment of the soul of humans  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) Principles are like a seed in the ground; they must continually be visited with heavenly influences or else your life will be a barren field  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) The soul is made for action, and cannot rest till it be employed. Idleness is its rust. Unless it will up and think and taste and see, all is in vain  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) The corn was orient and immortal wheat, which never should be reaped, nor was ever sown. I thought it had stood from everlasting to everlasting  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) Love is the true means by which the world is enjoyed: our love to others, and others love to us  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) You never enjoy the world aright, till the sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens and crowned with the stars  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) To love one person with a private love is poor and miserable: to love all is glorious  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) This moment exhibits infinite space, but there is a space also wherein all moments are infinitely exhibited, and the everlasting duration of infinite space is another region and room of joys  (Thomas Traherne Quotes) An empty book is like an infant’s soul, in which anything may be written. It is capable of all things, but containeth nothing. I have a mind to fill this with profitable wonders  (Thomas Traherne Quotes)
