Elizabeth Gaskell Quotes

I Should Have Hoped To Have Trained Him, My Lady, To Understand The Rules Of Discretion."
"Trained! Train A Barn-door Fowl To Be A Pheasant, Mr. Horner! That Would Be The Easier Task. But You Did Right To Speak Of Discretion Rather Than Honour. Discretion Looks To The Consequences Of Actions - Honour Looks To The Action Itself, And Is An Instinct Rather Than A Virtue. After All, It Is Possible You Might Have Trained Him To Be Discreet.
