Reform quotes and words of wisdom |  | "Good people, things will never go well in England so long as goods
be not in common, and so long as there be villeins and gentlemen. By what
right are they whom we call lords greater folk than we? On what grounds
have they deserved it? Why do they hold us in serfage? If we all came of
the same father and mother, of Adam and Eve, how can they say or prove
that they are better than we, if it be not that they make us gain for them
by our toil what they spend in their pride? They are clothed in velvet and
warm in their furs and their ermines, while we are covered with rags. They
have wine and spices and fir bread; and we oat-cake and straw, and water to
drink. They have leisure and fine houses; we have pain and labour, the rain
and the wind in the fields. And yet it is of us and of our toil that these
men hold their state." | |  | John Ball
