Abraham Cowley
English Poet
"The liberty of a people consists in being governed by laws which they have made themselves, under whatsoever form it may be of government; the liberty of a private man, in being master of his own time and actions, as far as may consist with the laws of God and his country."
"Nothing is there to come, and nothing past, but an eternal Now does always last."
"Life is an incurable disease."
"Poverty wants some things, luxury many, avarice all things."
