More quotes by Thomas More
It is naturally given to all men to esteem their own inventions best.
Thomas More
It is only natural, of course, that each man should think his own opinions best: the crow loves his fledgling, and the ape his cub.
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. For that, they think, is the real happiness of life.
Thomas More
The way to heaven out of all places is of length and distance.
Thomas More
Food is an implement of magic, and only the most coldhearted rationalist could squeeze the juices of life out of it and make it bland. In a true sense, a cookbook is the best source of psychological advice and the kitchen the first choice of room for a therapy of the world.
Thomas More
Two evils, greed and faction are the destruction of all justice.
Thomas More
Every man has by the law of nature a right to such a waste portion of the earth as is necessary for his subsistence.
Thomas More
For men use, if they have an evil turn, to write it in marble and whoso doth us a good turn we write it in dust.
Thomas More
Lord, give me a sense of humor so that I may take some happiness from this life and share it with others.
Thomas More
What part soever you take upon you, play that as well as you can and make the best of it.
Thomas More
Occupy your mind with good thoughts, or the enemy will fill them with bad ones.
Thomas More
If honor were profitable, everybody would be honorable.
Thomas More
They wonder much to hear that gold, which in itself is so useless a thing, should be everywhere so much esteemed, that even men for whom it was made, and by whom it has its value, should yet be thought of less value than it is.
Thomas More
Nobody sees a flower really,it is so small. We haven't time,and to see takes time- like to have a friend takes time. One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled, but few are educated.
Thomas More
The folly of men has enhanced the value of gold and silver because of their scarcity whereas, on the contrary, it is their opinion that Nature, as an indulgent parent, has freely given us all the best things in great abundance, such as water and earth, but has laid up and hid from us the things that are vain and useless.
Thomas More
As for rosemary, I let it run all over my garden walls, not only because my bees love it but because it is the herb sacred to remembrance and to friendship, whence a sprig of it hath a dumb language.
Thomas More
You wouldn't abandon ship in a storm just because you couldn't control the winds.
Thomas More
By confronting us with irreducible mysteries that stretch our daily vision to include infinity, nature opens an inviting and guiding path toward a spiritual life.
Thomas More
The Utopians feel that slaughtering our fellow creatures gradually destroys the sense of compassion, which is the finest sentiment of which our human nature is capable.
Thomas More
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Thomas More
