More From Thomas More

I'd Give The Devil Benefit Of Law, For My Own Safety's Sake.

There Are Several Sorts Of Religions, Not Only In Different Parts Of The Island, But Even In Every Town; Some Worshipping The Sun, Others The Moon Or One Of The Planets.

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.

Laws Could Be Passed To Keep The Leader Of A Government From Getting Too Much Power.

There Are Dreadful Punishments Enacted Against Thieves, But It Were Much Better To Make Such Good Provisions By Which Every Man Might Be Put In A Method How To Live, And So Be Preserved From The Fatal Necessity Of Stealing And Of Dying For It.
