More quotes by 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
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
Bastard Freedom waves Her fustian flag in mockery over slaves.
Thomas Moore
The past, the future: - two eternities!
Thomas Moore
Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.
Thomas Moore
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.
Thomas Moore
Though an angel should write, still 'tis devils must print.
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
Disguise our bondage as we will, 'Tis woman, woman, rules us still.
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
A philosopher being asked what was the first thing necessary to win the love of a woman, answered, Opportunity!
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
The devil...the prowde spirite...cannot endure to be mocked.
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 heart that has truly loved never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close.
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
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
The young May moon is beaming, love. The glow-worm's lamp is gleaming, love. How sweet to rove, Through Morna's grove, When the drowsy world is dreaming, love! Then awake! - the heavens look bright, my dear, 'Tis never too late for delight, my dear, And the best of all ways To lengthen our days Is to steal a few hours from the night, my dear!
Thomas Moore
Humility, that low, sweet root, from which all heavenly virtues shoot.
Thomas Moore
