The best of men cannot suspend their fate; The good die early, and the bad die late. - Daniel Defoe

Fear of danger is ten thousand times more terrifying than danger itself.

For Englishmen are ne'er contented long.

Next, bring some lawyers to thy bar,
By innuendo they might all stand there;
There let them expiate that guilt,
And pay for all that blood their tongues have spilt.
These are the mountebanks of state,
Who by the sleight of tongues can crimes create,
And dress up trifles in the robes of fate,
The mastiffs of a Government,
To worry and run down the innocent.
