MORE: That's very neat. But look now...If we lived in a State where virtue was profitable, common sense would make us good, and greed would make us saintly. (2.609)
Dang—leave it to More to lay it all out on the table like that. Basically, More knows that the British political system is corrupt as all get-out; you'd have to be blind to miss that. But that doesn't mean he'll let the system corrupt him, too. Unlike most people, More sees the immoral political actions taken by his peers as incentive to be a better man himself.
