1st Baron Walpole

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or walpole:

    Justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.
    Gordon, 1st Baron Of Bury Hewart (1870–1943)

    A man of sense, though born without wit, often lives to have wit. His memory treasures up ideas and reflections; he compares them with new occurrences, and strikes out new lights from the collision. The consequence is sometimes bons mots, and sometimes apothegms.
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
