Page 240 - Why, that if there were no kings, no queens, no lords, no ladies, nor gentlemen, nor gentlewomen, in the world, 'twould be no loss to God Almighty at all. This we had over some forty times, which made me remember it whether I would or not.
Page 140 - Mais feindre d'ignorer ce qu'on sait, de savoir tout ce qu'on ignore ; d'entendre ce qu'on ne comprend pas, de ne point ouïr ce qu'on entend ; surtout de pouvoir au delà de ses forces ; avoir souvent pour grand secret de cacher qu'il n'y en a point; s'enfermer pour tailler des plumes, et paraître profond quand on n'est, comme on dit, que vide et creux ; jouer bien ou mal un personnage; répandre des espions et pensionner des traîtres ; amollir des cachets, intercepter des lettres, et tâcher...
