Who seeketh two strings to one bow, they may shoot strong, but never straight.
Ye may have a greater prince, but ye shall never have a more loving prince.
Fear not, we are of the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of mice and such small beasts.
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.
All my possessions for a moment of time.
It is good to jest, but not to make a trade of jesting.
