Charles II of England

“We have a pretty witty king,Whose word no man relies on;He never said a foolish thing,Nor ever did a wise one.”

“A man of words and not of deeds,Is like a garden full of weeds...”

“Let not poor Nelly starve.”

“He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.”

“If we are understood, more words are unnecessary; if we are not likely to be understood, they are useless.”

“Better than a play!”
