John Morley: “As to removal into the House of Lords, I think the reasons against it of general application are conclusive.”

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.

I am trying to feel my way through the most difficult problem, the most difficult situation that a responsible Government can have to face.

Is it natural effervescence, or is it deadly fermentation?

What I endeavoured to show was that King George III., without changing his opinion of the justice of his war against the colonies, was obliged to give it up on account of a change of public opinion, and was not open to blame for so doing.
