Silence is not an absence of sound but rather a shifting of attention toward sounds that speak to the soul.

More quotes by 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
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
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
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
In our prayer and meditation we hope for fulfilling ordinary life.
Thomas Moore
Go where we may, rest where we will, Eternal London haunts us still.
Thomas Moore
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
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
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
You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.
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
What's important is finding out what works for you.
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
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
Sweet flowers alone can say what passion fears revealing.
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
Like the stain'd web that whitens in the sun, grow pure by being purely shone upon.
Thomas Moore
Humility, that low, sweet root, from which all heavenly virtues shoot.
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
