“It is many times with a fraudulent Design that men stick their corrupt Doctrine with the Cloves of other mens Wit.”
“For such is the nature of man, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquent, or more learned; Yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves: For they see their own wit at hand, and other mens at a distance.”
“I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men.”
“The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit. ”
“Love corrupts and absolute love corrupts absolutely. The unreasonable systems of men, that is.”
“When men are pure, laws are useless; when men are corrupt, laws are broken.”
