Zitat des Tages von Oliver Cromwell:
The State, in choosing men to serve it, takes no notice of their opinions. If they be willing faithfully to serve it, that satisfies.
Keep your faith in God, but keep your powder dry.
We are Englishmen; that is one good fact.
No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going.
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.
God made them as stubble to our swords.
Not only strike while the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking.
Put your trust in God; but be sure to keep your powder dry.
Subtlety may deceive you; integrity never will.
He who stops being better stops being good.
What is all our histories, but God showing himself, shaking and trampling on everything that he has not planted.
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.
A few honest men are better than numbers.
Do not trust the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you or I were going to be hanged.
Necessity has no law.
