“No people do so much harm as those who go about doing good”
Mandell Creighton

“Liberty is a tender plant and needs jealous watching”
Mandell Creighton, Persecution And Tolerance

“The Florentine Francesco Vettori frankly expresses the sentiments on which he acted. “The changes made by the Medici”, he says, “may be called tyrannical. It is true that in Plato’s Republic and in Thomas More’s Utopia there are examples of governments which are not tyrannical; but all the republics and states of which I have read in history or which I have seen smack of tyranny. We may say that all governments are tyrannical. In the case of Florence the city is populous; many citizens wish to share in its advantages, and the good things to be distributed are few.”
Mandell Creighton, The Wars of the Papal States 1492-1517 - Italian Princes, Warrior Popes, and Holy Roman Emperors
