More quotes by 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
The folly of men has enhanced the value of gold and silver because of their scarcity whereas, on the contrary, it is their opinion that Nature, as an indulgent parent, has freely given us all the best things in great abundance, such as water and earth, but has laid up and hid from us the things that are vain and useless.
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
Every man has by the law of nature a right to such a waste portion of the earth as is necessary for his subsistence.
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
I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.
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 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
A good tale evil told were better untold, and an evil take well told need none other solicitor.
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
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Thomas More
They set great store by their gardens . . . Their studie and deligence herein commeth not only of pleasure, but also of a certain strife and contention . . . concerning the trimming, husbanding, and furnishing of their gardens everye man or his owne parte.
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
Rose! Thou art the sweetest flower that ever drank the amber shower: Even the Gods, who walk the sky, are amourous of thy scented sigh.
Thomas More
The heart that has truly loved never forgets.
Thomas More
Laws could be passed to keep the leader of a government from getting too much power.
Thomas More
We cannot go to heaven in featherbeds.
Thomas More
It is naturally given to all men to esteem their own inventions best.
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
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.
