Subjects Have No Greater Liberty

A Wise Man Should So Write (though In Words Understood By All Men) That Wise Men Only Should Be Able To Commend Him.

As In The Presence Of The Master, The Servants Are Equall, And Without Any Honour At All; So Are The Subjects, In The Presence Of The Soveraign. And Though They Shine Some More, Some Lesse, When They Are Out Of His Sight; Yet In His Presence, They Shine No More Than The Starres In Presence Of The Sun.

For It Is Not The Shape, But Their Use, That Makes Them Angels.

If I Read As Many Books As Most Men Do, I Would Be As Dull-witted As They Are.
