SIR ROBERT WALPOLE, 1ST EARL OF ORFORD British statesman (1676 - 1745) All history is a lie!       - [History] All men have their price.       - ascribed to [Bribery] Every man has his price.       - in a speech [Bribery : Proverbs] Persons extremely reserved are like old enamelled watches, which had painted covers, that hindered your seeing what o'clock it was.       - [Diffidence] The balance of power.       - in a 1741 speech [Power] Though I admire republican principles in theory, yet I am afraid the practice may be too perfect for human nature. We tried a republic last century, and it failed. Let our enemies try next. I hate political experiments.       - [Republic] Oh, do not read history, for that I know must be false.       - I, Walpoliana, no.
