English king
(1566 - 1625)

A gentleman I could never make him, though I could make him a lord.

      - [Titles]

If I were not a king, I would be a university man; and if it were so that I must be a prisoner, if I might have my wish, I would desire to have no other prison than that library [the Bodleian].
      - [Libraries]

It is one of God's blessings that we cannot foreknow the hour of our death; for a time fixed, even beyond the possibility of living, would trouble us more than doth this uncertainty.
      - [Future]

That which we call wit consists much in quickness and tricks, and is so full of lightness that it seldom goes with judgment and solidity; but when they do meet, it is commonly in an honest man.
      - [Wit]

When a man makes up his mind to thrash another, he must also make up his mind to be a little thrashed himself.
      - [Proverbs]

To make the plough go before the horse.
      - Letter to the Lord Keeper [Order]

God gives not kings the stile of Gods in vaine,
  For on his throne his sceptre do they sway;
    And as their subjects ought them to obey,
      So kings should feare and serve their God againe.
      - Sonnet Addressed to his son, Prince Henry
        [Royalty]
