There is not one of us that would not be worse than kings, if so continually corrupted as they are with a sort of vermin called flatterers.

The middle sort of historians (of which the most part are) spoil all; they will chew our meat for us.

Those who have compared our life to a dream were right... we were sleeping wake, and waking sleep.
