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
What part soever you take upon you, play that as well as you can and make the best of it.
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
. . . the state of things and the dispositions of men were then such, that a man could not well tell whom he might trust or whom he might fear.
Thomas More
Occupy your mind with good thoughts, or the enemy will fill them with bad ones.
