SOME QUOTATIONS
THE MAXIMS OF A KING. Do favourite; maxims throw light on a personality? These are the ones written up on the wall of the late King’s library:“Teach me to distinguish between sentiment and sentimentality, admiring the one and despising the other.” “Teach me neither to proffer nor to receive cheap advice.” "If I am called upon to suffer, let me be like a well bred animal that goes away to suffer In silence.” “Teach me to win if I may. If I may not win, then, abo/e all, teach me to be a good loser.” "Teach me neither to cry for the moon nor over spilt milk.” —Lady Cynthia Asquith, in “God Save the King.”
