About Samuel Pepys
Samuel Pepys (February 23 1633 – May 26 1703) was an English naval administrator, Member of Parliament and Fellow of the Royal Society, but is now best remembered for the diary which he kept through the 1660s. It was first published in 1825, and has ever since been considered a unique historical source and human document.

Additional quotes by Samuel Pepys
