Whoever loveth me, loveth my hound.
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.

Thomas More
A drowning man will clutch at a straw.
Thomas More

Thomas More
And one wild Shakespeare, following Nature's lights, Is worth whole planets, filled with Stagyrites.
Thomas More
You wouldn't abandon ship in a storm just because you couldn't control the winds.
Thomas More
Two evils, greed and faction are the destruction of all justice.
Thomas More
The way to heaven out of all places is of length and distance.
Thomas More
It is part of the business of life to be affable and pleasing to those whom either nature, chance or circumstance has made our companions.
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
Getting married is like putting one's hand in a bag containing 99 serpents and one eel.
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
