Thomas Moore
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
Thomas Moore
What's important is finding out what works for you.
Thomas Moore
Go where we may, rest where we will, Eternal London haunts us still.
Thomas Moore
A philosopher being asked what was the first thing necessary to win the love of a woman, answered, Opportunity!
Thomas Moore
I thought that the light-house looked lovely as hope, That star on life's tremulous ocean.
Thomas Moore
Fond memory brings the light of other days around me.
Thomas Moore
The key to seeing the world's soul, and in the process wakening our own, is to get over the confusion by which we think that fact is real and imagination is illusion.
