Quotes
- “England is the paradise of women, the purgatory of men, and the hell of horses.”
- “Since honour from the honourer proceeds,How well do they deserve that memorizeAnd leave in Books, for all posteritiesThe names of worthies and their virtuous deeds.”
- “How poor remembrances are statues, tombs,And other monuments that men erectTo princes, which remain in closèd roomsWhere but a few behold them, in respectOf Books, that to the universal eyeShow how they lived; the other where they lie!”
