John Morley: “To govern men, there is but one way, and it is eternal truth.”

I think any man who lays down a firm proposition that all is well, or any man who says that all is ill--either of those two men is probably wrong.

This is no mere case of barren wrangle and verbal recrimination.

Turgot was one of the men to whom good government is a religion.

He was a soldier of infinite personal courage and daring; of striking military energy, initiative, and resource; a high, pure, and single character, dwelling much in the region of the unseen.
