More quotes by Thomas More
See me safe up: for in my coming down, I can shift for myself.
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
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
You wouldn't abandon ship in a storm just because you couldn't control the winds.
Thomas More
A good tale evil told were better untold, and an evil take well told need none other solicitor.
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
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
Most people know nothing about learning many despise it. Dummies reject as too hard whatever is not dumb.
Thomas More
It is possible to live for the next life and still be merry in this.
Thomas More
Laws could be passed to keep the leader of a government from getting too much power.
Thomas More
It is naturally given to all men to esteem their own inventions best.
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
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
Our emotional symptoms are precious sources of life and individuality.
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
Everywhere do I percieve a certain conspiracy of rich men seeking their own advantage underthat name and pretext of commonwealth.
Thomas More
A drowning man will clutch at a straw.
Thomas More
I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.
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
It's a poor doctor who can't cure one disease without giving you another.
Thomas More
