THOMAS MORE

Saint Thomas More - 
A Man For All Seasons
Thomas More was a humanist with a true love for learning. 
Known as a leader, he recognized that leadership is a 
gift from God
for the common good of mankind and the duty of that 
gift was 
a life of service to all.
A devoted family man, he was also a brilliant intellectual, 
patron of the arts, statesman, scholar, philosopher,
and author whose writings have enriched our culture 
and literature.
Educated at Oxford, he practiced law and entered 
the service of King Henry VIII as royal counselor, 
ambassador, 
and Lord Chancellor. He was a man of conscience with 
a strong 
faith in God and an intense concern for the problems 
of his day.
He was executed because he refused to compromise his
deeply held
principles and values.
As a person of wide and varied interests who exhibited 
high standards of honor, Thomas More is an inspiration 
to students who seek to develop through their education
the knowledge and values upon which they will base their lives,
their careers, and service to others.
