Additional quotes by Thomas Browne

But man is a Noble Animal, splendid in ashes, and pompous in the grave, solemnizing Nativities and Deaths with equal lustre, nor omitting Ceremonies of bravery, in the infamy of his nature. Life is a pure flame, and we live by an invisible Sun within us.

Generations passe while some trees stand, and old Families last not three Oaks.

Were the happiness of the next world as closely apprehended as the felicities of this, it were a martyrdom to live.
