...she studied his clothes, his top hat. “And you’ve just come from Parliament? How are you finding that?”“ It’s much like piracy. You tell your enemies that if they don’t fall in line, you’ll leave them to die.

About This Quote

The quote above was written by Richard Dooling in the 1860s. He was a clergyman in England who wrote several books on religion and theology. In this particular book, he uses his knowledge of church law to show that the actions of the government were no different from those of pirates. As an example, he discusses how bishops are named after Saint Peter, but all of them are in charge of their own diocese.

If one bishop is in line with the king, then another is not. When people are in power, they will do what they want regardless of the law or what is right or wrong.
