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 alabéis esa justicia que solamente es hermosa en apariencia. Dejáis que den a los niños una educación abominable que corrompe sus almas desde sus más tiernos años. ¿Es necesario pues que los castiguemos por los crímenes que no son culpa de ellos cuando llegan a ser hombres? Porque ¿qué otra cosa hacéis de ellos sino ladrones que luego castigáis?
