I’m responsible for my own work, and my own work alone, not for anyone else’s credibility. - Thomas More

As God loves me, when I consider this, then every modern society seems to me to be nothing but a conspiracy of the rick, who while protesting their interest in the common good pursue their own interests and stop at no trick and deception to secure their ill-gotten possessions, to pay as little as possible for the labor that produces their wealth and so force its makers to accept the nearest thing to nothing. They contrive rules for securing and assuring these tidy profits for the rich in the name of the common good, including of course the poor, and call them laws!

...for the springs of both good and evil flow from the prince over a whole nation, as from a lasting fountain.

I die the king's faithful servant, and God's first.
