Additional quotes by Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton

Who seeks for aid
Must show how service sought can be repaid.

That man is great, and he alone,
Who serves a greatness not his own.

Who can undo
What time hath done? who can win back the wind?
Beckon lost music from a broken lute?
Renew the redness of a last year's rose?
Or dig the sunken sunset from the deep?

O be very sure That no man will learn anything at all, Unless he first will learn humility. - Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton
