For in reason, all government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of slavery. #JonathanSwift #Literature #Quotes #Swift


I heartily hate and detest that animal called man, although I heartily love John, Peter, Thomas, and so forth. #JonathanSwift #Literature #Quotes #Swift


The best doctors in the world are Doctor Diet, Doctor Quiet, and Doctor Merryman. #JonathanSwift #Literature #Quotes #Swift


They all agreed, that I could not be produced according to the regular laws of nature; because I was not framed with a capacity of preserving my life, either by swiftness, or climbing of trees, or digging holes in the earth. #JonathanSwift #Literature #Quotes #Swift


There are few, very few, that will own themselves in a mistake. #JonathanSwift #Literature #Quotes #Swift


Words are the clothing of our thoughts. #JonathanSwift #Literature #Quotes #Swift


I slept about eight hours, as I was afterwards assured; and it was no wonder, for the physicians, by the emperors order, had mingled a sleepy potion in the hogsheads of wine. #JonathanSwift #Literature #Quotes #Swift
