Arthur Balfour Quote

On being told that Lord Curzon, who was financially dependent on his wife Grace, would be disappointed not to be Prime Minister:

He may have lost the hope of glory, but he still retains the means of Grace.


As reported in: The Oxford Book of Political Anecdotes (Oxford University Press, 1986), p. 186


He may have lost the hope of glory, but he still retains the means of Grace.

He may have lost the hope of glory, but he still retains the means of Grace.

He may have lost the hope of glory, but he still retains the means of Grace.

He may have lost the hope of glory, but he still retains the means of Grace.
