«Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.»
Author: Lord Melbourne

puritanical
«Your friends praise your abilities to the skies, submit to you in argument, and seem to have the greatest deference for you; but, though they may ask it, you never find them following your advice upon their own affairs; nor allowing you to manage your own, without thinking that you should follow theirs. Thus, in fact, they all think themselves wiser than you, whatever they may say.»
«That is no use at all. What I want is men who will support me when I am in the wrong.»
Author: Lord Melbourne

«It is not much matter which we say, but mind, we must all say the same.»
Author: Lord Melbourne
«A doctrinaire is a fool but an honest man.»
«I wish I was as cocksure of anything as Tom Macaulay is of everything.»
«Neither man nor woman can be worth anything until they have discovered that they are fools. This is the first step towards becoming either estimable or agreeable; and until it be taken there is no hope. The sooner the discovery is made the better, as there is more time and power for taking advantage of it. Sometimes the great truth is found out too late to apply to it any effectual remedy. Sometimes it is never found at all; and these form the desperate and inveterate causes of folly, self-conceit, and impertinence.»
«God help the Minister that meddles with art!»
Author: Lord Melbourne
