Famous quotes by Oliver Cromwell:

"No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going. Not only strike while the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking. Do not trust the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you or I were going to be hanged."

"Weeds and nettles, briars and thorns, have thriven under your shadow, dissettlement and division, discontentment and dissatisfaction, together with real dangers to the whole"

"Put your trust in God; but be sure to keep your powder dry"

"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"

"What shall we do with this bauble? There, take it away."

"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"

"Do not trust the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you or I were going to be hanged."

"I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken."

"The State, in choosing men to serve it, takes no notice of their opinions. If they be willing faithfully to serve it, that satisfies."

"You have sat too long for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!"

"No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going."

"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."

"What is all our histories, but God showing himself, shaking and trampling on everything that he has not planted."

"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."

"Who can love to walk in the dark? But providence doth often so dispose."

"We are Englishmen; that is one good fact."

"God made them as stubble to our swords."

"Necessity has no law."

"Subtlety may deceive you; integrity never will."
