GEORGE CURZON

Not even a public figure. A man of no experience and of the utmost insignificance.

Empire can only be achieved with satisfaction, or maintained with advantage, provided it has a moral basis.

I hesitate to say what the functions of the modern journalist may be; but I imagine that they do not exclude the intelligent anticipation of facts even before they occur.

Titles and honor and salutes it is in the power of the supreme authority in many countries to bestow, and it is from no vain or childish instinct that the world in all ages has attached value to these emblems or rewards.

I never knew the lower classes had such white skins.

… to me, I confess, they are pieces on a chessboard upon which is being played out a game for domination of the world.
