More quotes by Thomas More
It's a poor doctor who can't cure one disease without giving you another.
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
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
Pride thinks it's own happiness shines the brighter by comparing it with the misfortunes of others.
Thomas More
Two evils, greed and faction are the destruction of all justice.
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 drowning man will clutch at a straw.
Thomas More

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
By reason of gifts and bribes the offices be given to rich men, which should rather have been executed by wise men.
Thomas More
Lawyers-a profession it is to disguise matters.
Thomas More
He travels best that knows when to return.
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
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
Our emotional symptoms are precious sources of life and individuality.
Thomas More
