3 Sir Thomas Browne Quotes on Self

Sir Thomas Browne quotes on self

7. We carry with us the wonders, we seek without us: There is all Africa, and her prodigies in us; we are that bold and adventurous piece of nature, which he that studies, wisely learns in a compendium, what others labour at in a divided piece and endless volume.

22. 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.

26. There is no man alone, because every man is a Microcosm, and carries the whole world about him.
