Thomas Browne

To believe only possibilities is not faith, but mere philosophy.

All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God.

Be charitable before wealth makes you covetous.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.

A half truth, like half a brick, is always more forcible as an argument than a whole one. It carries better.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
