He who stops being better stops being good.
From Oliver Cromwell
Nature can do more than physicians.
No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going.
The State, in choosing men to serve it, takes no notice of their opinions. If they be willing faithfully to serve it, that satisfies.
I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a Gentle-man and is nothing else.
Subtlety may deceive you; integrity never will.
A few honest men are better than numbers.
Necessity has no law.
Do not trust the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you or I were going to be hanged.
I would have been glad to have lived under my wood side, and to have kept a flock of sheep, rather than to have undertaken this government.
