And, Mr. Speaker, if the Governor and Council don't see fit to fall in with us, I say let the general duty law, and all, go to the devil, sir, and go about our business.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In days when the public safety is imminently threatened, and the fate of a nation may hang upon a single act, we owe frank speech, above all other men, to him who is highest in authority. I shall speak to you as man to man.
When the Lord Chancellor violates the trust of his great office of state to solicit party donations from people whose careers he can control, and then says I'm not sorry, and I'd do it again no wonder the public think that power has gone to their heads.
Here, sir, the people govern; here they act by their immediate representatives.
I will do what the Prime Minister asks me to do; that is my consistent approach to politics and to service.
In all the things I've gone through as a politician, I have seen that in this system it is really very difficult to make any headway without being somehow tainted. And let me say, 'Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.'
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
It is with obedience to your call that I take up the burden of government leadership for the final time.
Depart from discretion when it interferes with duty.
Let everyone regulate his conduct... by the golden rule of doing to others as in similar circumstances we would have them do to us, and the path of duty will be clear before him.
When a governor asks you to come and serve... or a president, subsequently in my life - you do so.
