Miserable men commiserate not themselves; bowelless unto others, and merciless unto their own bowels.
Thomas BrowneQuotation mistakes, inadvertency, expedition, and human lapses, may make not only moles but warts in learned authors.
Thomas BrowneBut 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.
Thomas Browne
