Famous quotes containing the words cromwell and/or place:
“He was not in the least a rhetorician, was not talking to Buncombe or his constituents anywhere, had no need to invent anything but to tell the simple truth, and communicate his own resolution; therefore he appeared incomparably strong, and eloquence in Congress and elsewhere seemed to me at a discount. It was like the speeches of Cromwell compared with those of an ordinary king.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
