Lord Herbert of Cherbury

Lord Herbert of Cherbury.

He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.

Lord Herbert of Cherbury.

In oratory, affectation must be avoided; it being better for a man by a native and clear eloquence to express himself than by those words which may smell either of the lamp or inkhorn.
