More quotes by Thomas Moore
It may help us, in those times of trouble, to remember that love is not only about relationship, it is also an affair of the soul.
Thomas Moore
Disappointments in love, even betrayals and losses, serve the soul at the very moment they seem in life to be tragedies. The soul is partly in time and partly in eternity. We might remember the part that resides in eternity when we feel despair over the part that is in life.
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.
Thomas Moore
I thought that the light-house looked lovely as hope, That star on life's tremulous ocean.
Thomas Moore
It is precisely because we resist the darkness in ourselves that we miss the depths of the loveliness, beauty, brilliance, creativity, and joy that lie at our core.
Thomas Moore
Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
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.
Thomas Moore
Though the last glimpse of Erin with sorrow I see, Yet wherever thou art shall seem Erin to me In exile thy bosom shall still be my home, And thine eyes make my climate wherever we roam.
Thomas Moore
The past, the future: - two eternities!
Thomas Moore
Disguise our bondage as we will, 'Tis woman, woman, rules us still.
Thomas Moore
Fond memory brings the light of other days around me.
Thomas Moore
Go where we may, rest where we will, Eternal London haunts us still.
Thomas Moore
T'is the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone.
Thomas Moore
Like the stain'd web that whitens in the sun, grow pure by being purely shone upon.
Thomas Moore
In our prayer and meditation we hope for fulfilling ordinary life.
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
Usually, the main problem with life conundrums is that we don't bring to them enough imagination
Thomas Moore
All that's bright must fade, The brightest still the fleetest All that's sweet was made But to be lost when sweetest.
Thomas Moore
We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.
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
