Did You Think I Was Immortal?

Give Me Six Lines Written By The Most Honorable Person Alive, And I Shall Find Enough In Them To Condemn Them To The Gallows.

If You Give Me Six Lines Written By The Hand Of The Most Honest Of Men, I Will Find Something In Them Which Will Hang Him.

Nothing So Upholds The Laws As The Punishment Of Persons Whose Rank Is As Great As Their Crime.

A Virtuous And Well-disposed Person, Like A Good Metal, The More He Is Fired, The More He Is Fined; The More He Is Opposed, The More He Is Approved: Wrongs May Well Try Him, And Touch Him, But Cannot Imprint In Him Any False Stamp.

I Have The Consolation Of Leaving Your Kingdom In The Highest Degree Of Glory And Of Reputation.
