More quotes by Thomas More
Two evils, greed and faction are the destruction of all justice.
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
See me safe up: for in my coming down, I can shift for myself.
Thomas More
They set great store by their gardens . . . Their studie and deligence herein commeth not only of pleasure, but also of a certain strife and contention . . . concerning the trimming, husbanding, and furnishing of their gardens everye man or his owne parte.
Thomas More
The servant may not look to be in better case than his master.
Thomas More
It's wrong to deprive someone else of a pleasure so that you can enjoy one yourself, but to deprive yourself of a pleasure so that you can add to someone else's enjoyment is an act of humanity by which you always gain more than you lose.
Thomas More
Rose! Thou art the sweetest flower that ever drank the amber shower: Even the Gods, who walk the sky, are amourous of thy scented sigh.
Thomas More
Nobody sees a flower really,it is so small. We haven't time,and to see takes time- like to have a friend takes time. One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled, but few are educated.
Thomas More
Laws could be passed to keep the leader of a government from getting too much power.
Thomas More
I should only ever tell the king what he ought to do, not what he could do. For if the lion knows his own strength, no man could control him.
Thomas More
The heart that has truly loved never forgets.
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
If honor were profitable, everybody would be honorable.
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
What part soever you take upon you, play that as well as you can and make the best of it.
Thomas More
We cannot go to heaven in featherbeds.
Thomas More
A drowning man will clutch at a straw.
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
Most people know nothing about learning many despise it. Dummies reject as too hard whatever is not dumb.
Thomas More
Occupy your mind with good thoughts, or the enemy will fill them with bad ones.
Thomas More
