A Man Never Rises Higher Than When

Necessity Hath No Law. Feigned Necessities, Imaginary Necessities, Are The Greatest Cozenage Men Can Put Upon The Providence Of God, And Make Pretences To Break Known Rules By.

A Man-of-war Is The Best Ambassador.

He Who Ceases To Be Better, Ceases To Be Good.

If Any Man Whatsoever Hath Carried On The Design Of Deposing The King And Disinheriting His Posterity; Or If Any Man Hath Yet Such A Design He Should Be The Greatest Traitor And Rebel In The World; But, Since The Providence Of God Hath Cast This Upon Us, I Cannot But Submit To Providence.

Your Pretended Fear Lest Error Should Step In, Is Like The Man That Would Keep All The Wine Out Of The Country Lest Men Should Be Drunk. It Will Be Found An Unjust And Unwise Jealousy, To Deny A Man The Liberty He Hath By Nature Upon A Supposition That He May Abuse It.
