Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.
Thomas Moore
Image
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.
Thomas Moore
Image
Silence is not an absence of sound but rather a shifting of attention toward sounds that speak to the soul.
Thomas Moore
Image
Disguise our bondage as we will, 'Tis woman, woman, rules us still.
Thomas Moore
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Every season hath its pleasure Spring may boast her flowery prime, Yet the vineyard's ruby treasuries Brighten Autumn's sob'rer time.
Thomas Moore
Image
Came but for friendship, and took away love.
Thomas Moore
Image
I thought that the light-house looked lovely as hope, That star on life's tremulous ocean.
Thomas Moore
Image
The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.
Thomas Moore
Image
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
Image
What's important is finding out what works for you.
Thomas Moore
Image
A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.
Thomas Moore
Image
Most, if not all, problems brought to therapists are issues of love. It makes sense that the cure is also love.
Thomas Moore
Image
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
Image
A genuine odyssey is not about piling up experiences. It is a deeply felt, risky, unpredictable tour of the soul.
Thomas Moore
Image
This is the right time, and this is the right thing.
Thomas Moore
Image
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

Quote from CARE OF THE SOUL...Thomas Moore ...to the soul, the most minute details and the most ordinary activities, carried out with mindfullness and art, have an effect far beyond their apparant insignificance.
Thomas Moore
Image
How many times do we lose an occasion for soul work by leaping ahead to final solutions without pausing to savor the undertones? We are a radically bottom-line society, eager to act and to end tension, and thus we lose opportunities to know ourselves for our motives and our secrets.
