John Morley: “Ireland is not that portion of the universe in which this is least true.”

They hope to attract that good will which must, after all, be the real foundation of our prosperity and strength in India.

Yet they had certainly no less value and truth than they ever had, and perhaps were more needed than ever in face of the present chaos of opinion.

We do not know how to leave India, and therefore let us see if we know how to govern it.

What I wish to insist upon is, not that that system was good, but that the statesman who undertook to overthrow it, should have had something to put in its place.
