A thought for today …

If honor were profitable, everybody would be honorable.
— Sir Thomas More, who died on this date in 1535

  1. FYI, for a dissenting view: I just finished reading Wolf Hall (by Hilary Mantel), and More comes across as dangerous (given his persecution of "heretics") and close-minded (given his failure to recognize the sensible balance between the sacred and profane). Clearly, Mantel is not a fan of the not so heroic and not so honorable More.
