Quotes
- “He was timorous, changeable, inconsistent, erratic, gloomy and absorbed, then sparkling and excitable by turns, his fine face pale and puffy — his fine head rapidly turning grey — his figure growing too portly — his hand trembling, his eye restless, his demeanour that of one who drifted in and out of dreams and some of them bad dreams.”
- “He sought rest only in perpetual physical motion.”
- “His nervous instability was painful, his poses perpetual and his vanity colossal.”
- “He had apparently no illusions, no passions and no pre dominantly great ideals. He had the official manner, imperturbable and impenetrable, which would have made the fortune of an ambassador in Bismarck's eves.”
- “Sir Thomas was a man of business, stout, florid, choleric, curt and Cromwellian.”
- “In public life ... he had but one aim — his own aggrandisement.”
