Oliver Cromwell

Put your trust in God but be sure to keep your powder dry.

Do not trust the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you or I were going to be hanged.

Nature can do more than physicians.

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.

Keep your faith in God, but keep your powder dry.
