More quotes by Thomas More
Everywhere do I percieve a certain conspiracy of rich men seeking their own advantage underthat name and pretext of commonwealth.
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
Friendship demands attention.
Thomas More
The chief aim of their constitution is that, whenever public needs permit, all citizens should be free, so far as possible, to withdraw their time and energy from the service of the body, and devote themselves to the freedom and culture of the mind. For that, they think, is the real happiness of life.
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
The Utopians feel that slaughtering our fellow creatures gradually destroys the sense of compassion, which is the finest sentiment of which our human nature is capable.
Thomas More
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Thomas More
A good tale evil told were better untold, and an evil take well told need none other solicitor.
Thomas More
Kindness and good nature unite men more effectually and with greater strength than any agreements whatsoever, since thereby the engagements of men's hearts become stronger than the bond and obligation of words.
Thomas More
See me safe up: for in my coming down, I can shift for myself.
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
If honor were profitable, everybody would be honorable.
Thomas More
What though youth gave love and roses, Age still leaves us friends and wine
Thomas More
Whoever loveth me, loveth my hound.
Thomas More
By reason of gifts and bribes the offices be given to rich men, which should rather have been executed by wise men.
Thomas More
For men use, if they have an evil turn, to write it in marble and whoso doth us a good turn we write it in dust.
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
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
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
The heart that has truly loved never forgets.
Thomas More
