Quotes 

  • Thurlow : Your Majesty seems more yourself.

    George III : Do I? Yes, I do. I've always been myself, even when I was ill. Only now I seem myself. And that's the important thing. I have remembered how to seem. What, what.

  • Thurlow : The cork's too tight in the bottle, that's the trouble. He must be the first King of England not to have a mistress.

    Pitt : Fifteen children seem to me to indicate a certain conscientiousness in that regard.

    Thurlow : I'm talking of pleasure, not duty.

  • Thurlow : The Prince of Wales cannot marry without the King's consent and he CANNOT marry a Catholic. You performed an illegal ceremony.

    Clergyman : [indignantly]  And they only give me ten pound for it.

    Thurlow : Here's another ten pounds. Keep this to yourself.

    [He gives the clergyman money and starts tearing the page from the register] 

    Clergyman : Here, you can't do that, it's against the law.

    Thurlow : I *am* the law.

  • Thurlow : [to Dr. Willis]  King Lear; do you think that is wise?

    Dr. Willis : I did not know what the play was about.

  • Pitt : We consider ourselves blessed in our constitution. We tell ourselves our Parliament is the envy of the world. But we live in the health and well-being of the sovereign as much as any vizier does the Sultan.

    [Pitt exits] 

    Thurlow : [to Dundas]  The Sultan orders it better. He has the son and heir strangled.

  • Thurlow : [referring to the Prince of Wales]  It takes character to withstand the rigours of indolence.

  • Thurlow : Rely on your oars, sir. The tide is with you.

    Prince of Wales : The tide? Rely on my oars?

    Mrs Fitzherbert : George!

    Thurlow : Your Royal Highness has but to wait.

    Prince of Wales : Wait? Ha. Wait. Lord Chancellor, my life has been waiting.

  • Thurlow : God, this place is as cold as a greyhound's nostril.
