William Cowper, 1st Earl Cowper quotes

It is a general rule of Judgment, that a mischief should rather be admitted than an inconvenience. (William Cowper, 1st Earl Cowper)

There is no instance where men are so easily imposed upon, as at the time of their dying under the pretence of charity.

I should have all manner of tenderness for the right of the College; they are nurseries of Religion and Learning, and therefore all donations for increase and augmentation of their revenue are to be liberally expounded.

William Cowper, 1st Earl Cowper

God forbid that Judges upon their oath should make resolutions to enlarge jurisdiction.
