More quotes by Oliver Cromwell
I have learned that if you fear God, you have no one else to fear.
Oliver Cromwell

My desire is to make what haste I can to be gone.
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
I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken.
Oliver Cromwell
A man never rises higher than when he does not know whither his path can still lead him.

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
No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going.
Oliver Cromwell
Subtlety may deceive you integrity never will.
Oliver Cromwell
A few honest men are better than numbers.
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
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
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.
Oliver Cromwell
A man-of-war is the best ambassador.
Oliver Cromwell
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.
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
Those who stop being better stop being good.
Oliver Cromwell
