Thomas More
Friendship demands attention.
Thomas More
Whoever loveth me, loveth my hound.
Thomas More
Occupy your mind with good thoughts, or the enemy will fill them with bad ones.
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
Getting married is like putting one's hand in a bag containing 99 serpents and one eel.
Thomas More
The heart that has truly loved never forgets.
