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

There's no weapon that slays
Its victim so surely (if well aim'd) as praise.

Oh, moment of sweet peril, perilous sweet!
When woman joins herself to man.

We are what we must,
And not what we would be. I know that one hour
Forestalls not another. The will and the power
Are diverse.
