More quotes by Thomas More
Those among them that have not received our religion do not fright any from it, and use none ill that goes over to it, so that all the while I was there one man was only punished on this occasion.
Thomas More
It's wrong to deprive someone else of a pleasure so that you can enjoy one yourself, but to deprive yourself of a pleasure so that you can add to someone else's enjoyment is an act of humanity by which you always gain more than you lose.
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
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
A good tale evil told were better untold, and an evil take well told need none other solicitor.
Thomas More
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
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
By reason of gifts and bribes the offices be given to rich men, which should rather have been executed by wise men.
Thomas More
No living creature is naturally greedy, except from fear of want - or in the case of human beings, from vanity, the notion that you're better than people if you can display more superfluous property than they can.
Thomas More
It is possible to live for the next life and still be merry in this.
Thomas More
Who does more earnestly long for a change than he who is uneasy in his present circumstances? And who run to create confusions with so desperate a boldness as those who have nothing to lose, hope to gain by them?
Thomas More
You wouldn't abandon ship in a storm just because you couldn't control the winds.
Thomas More
In the first place, most princes apply themselves to the arts of war, in which I have neither ability nor interest, instead of to the good arts of peace. They are generally more set on acquiring new kingdoms by hook or by crook than on governing well those that they already have.
Thomas More
Pride thinks it's own happiness shines the brighter by comparing it with the misfortunes of others.
Thomas More
Getting married is like putting one's hand in a bag containing 99 serpents and one eel.
Thomas More
It is naturally given to all men to esteem their own inventions best.
Thomas More
The way to heaven out of all places is of length and distance.
Thomas More
The servant may not look to be in better case than his master.
Thomas More
Two evils, greed and faction are the destruction of all justice.
Thomas More
Every tribulation which ever comes our way either is sent to be medicinal, if we will take it as such, or may become medicinal, if we will make it such, or is better than medicinal, unless we forsake it.
Thomas More
