    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)

    Nothing is so foolish, they say, as for a man to stand for office and woo the crowd to win its vote, buy its support with presents, court the applause of all those fools and feel self-satisfied when they cry their approval, and then in his hour of triumph to be carried round like an effigy for the public to stare at, and end up cast in bronze to stand in the market place.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)

    And since our Daintie age,
    Cannot indure reproofe,
    Make not thy selfe a Page,
    To that strumpet the Stage,
    But sing high and aloofe,
    Safe from the wolves black jaw, and the dull Asses hoofe.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
