Thomas More
Whoever loveth me, loveth my hound.
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
Pride thinks it's own happiness shines the brighter by comparing it with the misfortunes of others.
Thomas More
Getting married is like putting one's hand in a bag containing 99 serpents and one eel.
Thomas More
Two evils, greed and faction are the destruction of all justice.
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
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.
