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
A drowning man will clutch at a straw.
Thomas More
A man taking basil from a woman will love her always.
Thomas More
Occupy your mind with good thoughts, or the enemy will fill them with bad ones.

I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.
Thomas More
A good tale evil told were better untold, and an evil take well told need none other solicitor.

Thomas More
