Thomas More
The chief aim of their constitution is that, whenever public needs permit, all citizens should be free, so far as possible, to withdraw their time and energy from the service of the body, and devote themselves to the freedom and culture of the mind.

Thomas More
You wouldn't abandon ship in a storm just because you couldn't control the winds.
Thomas More
Rose! Thou art the sweetest flower that ever drank the amber shower: Even the Gods, who walk the sky, are amourous of thy scented sigh.
Thomas More
He travels best that knows when to return.
Thomas More
. . . the state of things and the dispositions of men were then such, that a man could not well tell whom he might trust or whom he might fear.
Thomas More
Two evils, greed and faction are the destruction of all justice.
Thomas More
Pride thinks it's own happiness shines the brighter by comparing it with the misfortunes of others.
Thomas More
Most people know nothing about learning many despise it. Dummies reject as too hard whatever is not dumb.
Thomas More
Kindness and good nature unite men more effectually and with greater strength than any agreements whatsoever, since thereby the engagements of men's hearts become stronger than the bond and obligation of words.
Thomas More
