Robert Walpole Quote
No man is fit for business with a ruffled temper.
Fitzmaurice describes the moment before Walpole made this remark: "He was of a perfectly even temper, and the most good-natured man living. Once he lost his temper at a Council, but he broke up the Council immediately after".
Life of Shelburne (1875), p. 32 by Edmund Fitzmaurice
