Speaking of Quotes from the Early 1800s …

Thursday, January 7, 2021 12:57

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Let me offer two more (besides the one about Queen Caroline), which came to mind when contemplating the most recent talk of impeachment. First, credited to Napoleon:

When the enemy is making a false movement we must take good care not to interrupt him.

Second, credited to a French official of the era (though apparently not Talleyrand):

It is worse than a crime, it is a mistake.

Just some multipurpose lines that I’ve long liked, offered for whatever meaning you might find in them. (As with all such lines, analogies to a current situation are never perfect, and many distinctions can always be drawn; the question is whether there is still enough of a connection to inspire some insight.)
