Some memorable quotes and witty remarks from 'A Man for All Seasons' - a 1966 film about the life of Sir Thomas More.
-----
background chatter: ... that in this country every second bastard born is fathered by a priest. But in Utopia that couldn't be. For there the priests are very holy... therefore very few!
-----
Cardinal Wosley: More, you should have been a cleric!
Sir Thomas More: Like your self, Your Grace?
-----
Sir Thomas More: Now, listen, Will. Two years ago you were a passionate churchman. Now you're a passionate Lutheran. We must just pray that when your head's finished turning, your face is to the front again.
-----
King Henry VIII: Thomas. I chose the right man for chancellor!
Sir Thomas More: I should in fairness add that my taste in music is reputedly deplorable.
King Henry VIII: Your taste in music is excellent. It exactly coincides with my own!
-----
The Duke of Norfolk: Why do you insult me with this lawyer's chatter?
Sir Thomas More: Because I am afraid.
The Duke of Norfolk: Man, you're ill. This isn't Spain, you know. This is England.
-----
The Duke of Norfolk: What? Goddammit, he was the only judge since Cato who didn't accept bribes! When was there last a Chancellor whose possessions after three years in office totaled one hundred pounds and a gold chain?
-----
The Duke of Norfolk: Cromwell, are you threatening me?
Cromwell: My dear Norfolk... this isn't Spain. This is England!
-----
[Norfolk's gullible expression]
Sir Thomas More: ... the law will let you... cut my head off.
The Duke of Norfolk: Oh... yes...
Cromwell: Oh well done, Sir Thomas, I've been trying to make that clear to His Grace for some time.
The Duke of Norfolk: Oh confound all this. I'm not a scholar, I don't know whether the marriage was lawful or not, but dammit, Thomas, look at these names! Why can't you do as I did and come with us, for fellowship!
-----
The Duke of Norfolk: Your life lies in your own hands, Thomas, as it always has.
Sir Thomas More: Is that so, My Lord? Then I'll keep a good grip on it.
-----
Sir Thomas More: The world must construe according to its wits; this court must construe according to the law.
-----
Sir Thomas More: Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales?
-----
Narrator: The Duke of Norfolk should have been executed for high treason, but the king died of syphilis the night before.
-----

As a young man of 19, I was an usher in a San Francisco theater that play one single movie for 6 months or a year, this one was one of those movies, I saw it hundreds of times, soon I knew the whole dialogue of the entire movie by heart. It always play to full house, especially on weekends, I still remember how well dress and educated the audience was. During the movie they sat in total silence and with an expression of great interest. At the very end they applauded, as if they have seen a live performance.

William Roper: “So, now you give the Devil benefit of law!” - Sir Thomas Moore: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?” - William Roper: “Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that!” - Sir Thomas Moore: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ‘round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them all down - and you’re just the man to do it - do you really think you could stand upright against the winds that would blow then? Yes, I would give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!” ADDENDUM (edit): This, ladies and gentlemen, is how it’s done. What superb writing, directing, and acting!...May they All Rest In Peace Eternal. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis - Requiescant Omnes In Pace. - Robert Bolt was a theatrical genius.

Now the United Kingdom is planning to break international treaties that will impact the good Friday agreement. Now we see Attorney General find excuses to justify an unjustifiable Breach of international law. So the challenge a good man has, did they follow their conscience a stand against this action that most likely will bring violence to North Ireland, And the return of The Troubles.Once again we are facing a similar choices that St. Thomas Moore faced Do we follow the political whim, of our government, Or do we act according to our conscience, even in the case as Sir Thomas more it led to his death. I know where I stand, I will always act according to my conscience even if that leads to the same outcome as Sir Thomas more.
