Horace Walpole Quotes

I Have Known Several Persons Of Great Fame For Wisdom In Public Affairs And Councils Governed By Foolish Servants. I Have Known Great Ministers, Distinguished For Wit And Learning, Who Preferred None But Dunces. I Have Known Men Of Valor Cowards To Their Wives. I Have Known Men Of Cunning Perpetually Cheated. I Knew Three Ministers Who Would Exactly Compute And Settle The Accounts Of A Kingdom, Wholly Ignorant Of Their Own Economy.
