For if you suffer your people ...

For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them.

Thomas More 124 quotes

Instead of inflicting these ho...

Thomas More 124 quotes

It's wrong to deprive someone ...

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 124 quotes

One man to live in pleasure an...

One man to live in pleasure and wealth, whiles all other weap and smart for it, that is the part not of a king, but of a jailor.

Thomas More 124 quotes

Thomas More 124 quotes

It is only natural, of course,...

Thomas More 124 quotes

Every tribulation which ever comes our way either is sent to be medicinal, if we will take it as such, or may become medicinal, if we will make it such, or is better than medicinal, unless we forsake it.

Thomas More 124 quotes

Nor can they understand why a ...

Nor can they understand why a totally useless substance like gold should now, all over the world, be considered far more important than human beings, who gave it such value as it has, purely for their own convenience.

Thomas More 124 quotes

In the first place, most princes apply themselves to the arts of war, in which I have neither ability nor interest, instead of to the good arts of peace. They are generally more set on acquiring new kingdoms by hook or by crook than on governing well those that they already have.

Thomas More 124 quotes

The way to heaven out of all p...

The way to heaven out of all places is of length and distance.

Thomas More 124 quotes

Thomas More 124 quotes

I'd give the Devil benefit of ...

I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake

Thomas More 124 quotes

Those among them that have not...

Those among them that have not received our religion do not fright any from it, and use none ill that goes over to it, so that all the while I was there one man was only punished on this occasion.

Thomas More 124 quotes

As for rosemary, I let it run ...

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.
