Cardinal Thomas Wolsey
- Cardinal Thomas Wolsey: [Praying to God] Lord, we have not spoken as long or as often as we should; I've often been about other business. If I wanted forgiveness, I should ask for it, but for all I have done and for all I am yet to do... there can be no forgiveness. And yet, I think I am not an evil man, for evil men pray louder, seek penance and think themselves closer to Heaven than I am. I shall not see its gates Lord, nor hear your sweet words of salvation. I have seen eternity, I swear, but it was in a dream and in the morning, all was gone. I know myself for what I am, and I throw my pour soul upon your forgiveness, in the full knowledge that I deserve none.
- Cardinal Thomas Wolsey: [on his arrest for treason] If I had served God as diligently as I served the king, he would not have given me up in my gray hairs.
