THOMAS MOREFood 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 MOREWho 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 MOREIt is only natural, of course, that each man should think his own opinions best: the crow loves his fledgling, and the ape his cub.
THOMAS MOREThe servant may not look to be in better case than his master.
THOMAS MOREEvery 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 MORESex and religion are closer to each other than either might prefer.

THOMAS MOREThe way to heaven out of all places is of length and distance.
THOMAS MOREEvery man has by the law of nature a right to such a waste portion of the earth as is necessary for his subsistence.
THOMAS MORENobody 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 MOREYou wouldn’t abandon ship in a storm just because you couldn’t control the winds.
THOMAS MOREYour love has build me from strength to strength. It has made me a stronger and better person than I was. There is nothing that love cannot change darling. Once you fall in love, even wars turn to love stories.
THOMAS MORE
