On Becoming Soldiers We Have Not Ceased

A Man Never Rises Higher Than When He Does Not Know Whither His Path Can Still Lead Him.

We Study The Glory Of God, And The Honour And Liberty Of Parliament, For Which We Unanimously Fight, Without Seeking Our Own Interests... I Profess I Could Never Satisfy Myself On The Justness Of This War, But From The Authority Of The Parliament To Maintain Itself In Its Rights; And In This Cause I Hope To Prove Myself An Honest Man And Single-hearted.

Sir, What Can Be Said Of These Things? Is It The Arm Of The Flesh That Hath Done These Things? Is It The Wisdom And Counsel, Or Strength Of Man? It Is The Lord Only. God Will Curse That Man And His House That Dares To Think Otherwise. Sir, You See The Work Is Done By A Divine Leading. God Gets Into The Hearts Of Men, And Persuades Them To Come Under You.

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

He Who Stops Being Better Stops Being Good.
