“Be able to be alone; lose not the advantage of solitude, and the society of thyself; nor be only content but delight to be alone with Omnipotency. He who is thus prepared, the day is not uneasy, nor the night black unto him.”  –  Sir Thomas Browne

  1. Might be nice for your readers to know the precise location of your quotation comes from Browne’s essay ‘Christian Morals’ Part 3 section 6. An essay full of useful advice on living a Christian life.

  2. A few examples of the numerous highly quotable aphorisms in Browne’s ‘Christian Morals’ for you.

    wherein not the Armour of Achilles, but the Armature of St.Paul, gives the Glorious day’ Pt.1:24

    The Divine Eye looks upon high and low differently from that of Man. Pt. 1:27

    Punish not thyself with Pleasure Pt.2:1

    The created World is but a small Parenthesis in Eternity. Pt 3 :29

    I’ve often wondered why this work is not better-known to Christians. It’s full of useful advice and available on-line at Uni. of Chicago site.
