Thomas Browne: Be substantially great in thyself, and more than thou appearest unto others…
Be substantially great in thyself, and more than thou appearest unto others; and let the world be deceived in thee, as they are in the lights of heaven.
In today’s wordsBe truly greater within than you appear to others, and let the world misjudge you the way it does the stars.
