There isn't a tree to hang a man, water to drown a man nor soil to bury a man

Oliver Cromwell 80 quotes

Sir, what can be said of thes...

Sir, what can be said of these things? Is it the arm of the flesh that hath done these things? Is it the wisdom and counsel, or strength of man? It is the Lord only. God will curse that man and his house that dares to think otherwise. Sir, you see the work is done by a Divine leading. God gets into the hearts of men, and persuades them to come under you.

We study the glory of God, and the honour and liberty of parliament, for which we unanimously fight, without seeking our own interests... I profess I could never satisfy myself on the justness of this war, but from the authority of the parliament to maintain itself in its rights; and in this cause I hope to prove myself an honest man and single-hearted.

Some people have food, but no appetite; others have an appetite, but no food. I have both. The Lord be praised.

Oliver Cromwell 80 quotes

I was by birth a gentleman, living neither in any considerable height, nor yet in obscurity. I have been called to several employments in the nation - to serve in parliaments, - and ( because I would not be over tedious ) I did endeavour to discharge the duty of an honest man in those services, to God, and his people's interest, and of the commonwealth; having, when time was, a competent acceptation in the hearts of men, and some evidence thereof.

Oliver Cromwell 80 quotes

I desire not to keep my place...

I desire not to keep my place in this government an hour longer than I may preserve England in its just rights, and may protect the people of God in such a just liberty of their consciences.

Oliver Cromwell 80 quotes

Your pretended fear lest erro...

Your pretended fear lest error should step in, is like the man that would keep all the wine out of the country lest men should be drunk. It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy, to deny a man the liberty he hath by nature upon a supposition that he may abuse it.

Oliver Cromwell 80 quotes

You have sat too long for any...

You have sat too long for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!

Does a man speak foolishly?--suffer him gladly, for you are wise. Does he speak erroneously?--stop such a man's mouth with sound words that cannot be gainsaid. Does he speak truly?--rejoice in the truth.

Oliver Cromwell 80 quotes

There are some things in this...

There are some things in this establishment that are fundamental... about which I shall deal plainly with you... the government by a single person and a parliament is a fundamental... and... though I may seem to plead for myself, yet I do not: no, nor can any reasonable man say it... I plead for this nation, and all the honest men therein.

On becoming soldiers we have not ceased to be citizens.

I was by birth a gentleman, living neither in any considerable height nor yet in obscurity.

Royalty is but a feather in a man's cap; let children enjoy their rattle.

Oliver Cromwell 80 quotes

Ye may have skill in the nature of things, yet nature can do more than all physicians put together; and God is far more above nature.

THE PEOPLE WOULD BE JUST AS NOISY IF THEY WERE GOING TO SEE ME HANGED.

Oliver Cromwell 80 quotes

Mr. Lely, I desire you would use all your skill to paint my picture truly like me, and not flatter me at all; but remark all these roughnesses, pimples, warts, and everything as you see me, otherwise I will never pay a farthing for it.

He who ceases to be better, ceases to be good.

Necessity hath no law. Feigned necessities, imaginary necessities, are the greatest cozenage men can put upon the Providence of God, and make pretences to break known rules by.

Oliver Cromwell 80 quotes

In return for financial support will advocate admission of Jews to England; This however impossible while Charles living. Charles cannot be executed without trial on adequate grounds for which do not presently exist. Therefore advise that Charles be assassinated, but will have nothing to do with arrangements for procuring an assassin, though willing to help in his escape. [King Charles I was in prison at the time].

My prayer is that God give me no longer life than I shall be glad to use mine office in edification, and not in destruction.
