More quotes by Oliver Cromwell
I would have been glad to have lived under my wood side, and to have kept a flock of sheep, rather than to have undertaken this government.
Oliver Cromwell
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.
Oliver Cromwell
Some people have food, but no appetite others have an appetite, but no food. I have both. The Lord be praised.
Oliver Cromwell
I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a Gentle-man and is nothing else.
Oliver Cromwell
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
Necessity has no law.

Oliver Cromwell
A man never rises higher than when he does not know whither his path can still lead him.
Oliver Cromwell
That which brought me into the capacity I now stand in, was the Petition and Advice given me by you, who, in reference to the ancient Constitution, did draw me here to accept the place of Protector. There is not a man living can say I sought it, no not a man, nor woman, treading upon English ground.
Oliver Cromwell
Catholicism is more than a religion, it is a political power. Therefore I'm led to believe there will be no peace in Ireland until the Catholic Church is crushed
Oliver Cromwell
Men have been led in dark paths, through the providence and dispensation of God. Why, surely it is not to be objected to a man, for who can love to walk in the dark? But providence doth often so dispose.
Oliver Cromwell
No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going.
Oliver Cromwell
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!
Oliver Cromwell
Our swords are in God's hands, And our faith is in the Lord. Charge!
Oliver Cromwell
