From plants that wake when others sleep, from timid jasmine buds that keep their odour to themselves all day, but when the sunlight dies away let the delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about.

More quotes by Thomas Moore
We let a river shower its banks with a spirit that invades the people living there, and we protect that river, knowing that without its blessings the people have no source of soul.
Thomas Moore
It is only through mystery and madness that the soul is revealed.
Thomas Moore
The devil...the prowde spirite...cannot endure to be mocked.
Thomas Moore
It is quite cruel that a poet cannot wander through his regions of enchantment without having a critic, forever, like the old man of the sea, upon his back.
Thomas Moore
You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.
Thomas Moore
With what a deep devotedness of woe I wept thy absence - o'er and o'er again Thinking of thee, still thee, till thought grew pain, And memory, like a drop that, night and day, Falls cold and ceaseless, wore my heart away!
Thomas Moore
Came but for friendship, and took away love.
Thomas Moore
Come o'er the sea, Maiden with me, Mine through the sunshine, storms and snows Seasons may roll, But the true soul Burns the same, where'er it goes.
Thomas Moore
The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don't want paradise, you are not human and if you are not human, you don't have a soul.
Thomas Moore
Sweet flowers alone can say what passion fears revealing.
Thomas Moore
Most, if not all, problems brought to therapists are issues of love. It makes sense that the cure is also love.
Thomas Moore
A soulmate is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the communicating and communing that take place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace.
Thomas Moore
The past, the future: - two eternities!
Thomas Moore
A philosopher being asked what was the first thing necessary to win the love of a woman, answered, Opportunity!
Thomas Moore
Like the stain'd web that whitens in the sun, grow pure by being purely shone upon.
Thomas Moore
Fond memory brings the light of other days around me.
Thomas Moore
Silence is not an absence of sound but rather a shifting of attention toward sounds that speak to the soul.
Thomas Moore
I thought that the light-house looked lovely as hope, That star on life's tremulous ocean.
Thomas Moore
The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.
Thomas Moore
The problem in narcissism is not the high ideals and ambitions, it's the difficulty one encounters when trying to give them body.
