Psalms146:3
Put not your trust in princes. Shakespeare puts this sentiment into Wolsey's mouth:
"O how wretched
Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favour!
There is, betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,
More pangs and fears than wars and women have:
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again."
