Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool

Youth is not the age of pleasure; we then expect too much, and we are therefore exposed to daily disappointments and mortifications. When we are a little older, and have brought down our wishes to our experience, then we become calm and begin to enjoy ourselves.

— Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool

France is your natural enemy ; she is more so as a republic than as a monarchy. We know less at what point a nation will stop than a king.

— Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool
