Thomas More
Occupy your mind with good thoughts, or the enemy will fill them with bad ones.
Thomas More
What part soever you take upon you, play that as well as you can and make the best of it.
Thomas More

Thomas More
A man taking basil from a woman will love her always.
Thomas More
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Thomas More
If honor were profitable, everybody would be honorable.
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
It is possible to live for the next life and still be merry in this.
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
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 part of the business of life to be affable and pleasing to those whom either nature, chance or circumstance has made our companions.
Thomas More
