Quote by Margaret Cavendish
A rude nature is worse than a brute nature by so much more as man

A rude nature is worse than a brute nature by so much more as man is better than a beast: and those that are of civil natures and genteel dispositions are as much nearer to celestial creatures as those that are rude and cruel are to devils. – Margaret Cavendish
