[On Thomas Seymour's death:] This day died a man of much wit and very little judgment.

There is an Italian proverb which saith, From my enemy let me defend myself; but from a pretensed friend Lord deliver me

Had I been crested, not cloven, my Lords, you had not treated me thus.

There is small disproportion betwixt a fool who useth not wit because he hath it not and him that useth it not when it should avail him.

Of myself I must say this, I never was any greedy, scraping grasper, nor a strait fast-holding prince, nor yet a master; my heart was never set on worldly goods, but only for my subjects' good.

I would gladly chastise those who represent things as different from what they are. Those who steal property or make counterfeit money are punished, and those ought to be still more severely dealt with who steal away or falsify the good name of a prince.

I may not be a lion,but I am lions cub and I have lion's heart
