About Thomas More
Saint Thomas More (7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), also known as Sir Thomas More, was an English lawyer, writer, and politician. He is chiefly remembered for his principled refusal to accept King Henry VIII's claim to be the supreme head of the Church of England, a decision which ended his political career and led to his execution as a traitor. In 1935, four hundred years after his death, More was canonized in the Catholic Church and was later declared the patron saint of statesmen, lawyers, and politicians.

Additional quotes by Thomas More
No debes extrañarle de ello -me atreví a contestarle delante del Cardenal-: semejante castigo infligido a los ladrones ni es justo ni útil. Es desproporcionadamente cruel como castigo de los robos e ineficaz como remedio. Un robo no es un crimen merecedor de la pena capital. Ni hay castigo tan horrible que prive de robar a quien tiene que comer y vestirse y no halla otro medio de conseguir su sustento.
