More quotes by Thomas More
The heart that has truly loved never forgets.
Thomas More
Two evils, greed and faction are the destruction of all justice.
Thomas More
And it will fall out as in a complication of diseases, that by applying a remedy to one sore, you will provoke another and that which removes the one ill symptom produces others.
Thomas More
If honor were profitable, everybody would be honorable.
Thomas More
A man taking basil from a woman will love her always.
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
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
Instead of inflicting these horrible punishments, it would be far more to the point to provide everyone with some means of livelihood, so that nobody's under the frightful necessity of becoming, first a thief, and then a corpse.
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
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
Because the soul has such deep roots in personal and social life and its values run so contrary to modern concerns, caring for the soul may well turn out to be a radical act, a challenge to accepted norms.
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
See me safe up: for in my coming down, I can shift for myself.
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
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
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
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Thomas More
It's a poor doctor who can't cure one disease without giving you another.
Thomas More
I should only ever tell the king what he ought to do, not what he could do. For if the lion knows his own strength, no man could control him.
Thomas More
I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.
Thomas More
