-- Pope Alexander VI -
“Once (says an Author; where I need not say) Two Trav'lers found an Oyster in their way; Both fierce, both hungry; the dispute grew stong; While Scale in Hand Dame Justice pass'd along Before her each with clamour pleads the Laws. Explain'd the matter, and would win the cause, Dame Justice wighing long the doubtful Right Takes, opens, swallows it, before their sight. The cause of strife remov'd so rarely well, "There take" (says Justice), "take ye each a shell. We thrive at Westminster on Fools like you: 'Twas a fat oyster - live in peace - Adieu."”
-- Pope Alexander VI -
“Oh what would Rome be without a plot?”
-- Pope Alexander VI -
“May the Lord array thee in the garment of salvation and surround thee with the cloak of happiness.”
-- Pope Alexander VI -
“Sometimes one barely understand oneself.”
-- Pope Alexander VI
