A Few Honest Men Are Better Than

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do Not Trust The Cheering, For Those Persons Would Shout As Much If You Or I Were Going To Be Hanged.
