Who can love to walk in the dark? But providence doth often so dispose.
Oliver Cromwell
Subtlety may deceive you integrity never will.

Oliver Cromwell
I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken.
Oliver Cromwell
A few honest men are better than numbers.
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
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
My desire is to make what haste I can to be gone.
Oliver Cromwell
