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
We cannot go to heaven in featherbeds.
Thomas More
It is naturally given to all men to esteem their own inventions best.
Thomas More
The way to heaven out of all places is of length and distance.
Thomas More
Occupy your mind with good thoughts, or the enemy will fill them with bad ones.
Thomas More
Getting married is like putting one's hand in a bag containing 99 serpents and one eel.
Thomas More
What part soever you take upon you, play that as well as you can and make the best of it.

Whoever loveth me, loveth my hound.
Thomas More
