Quotes by Herbert Henry Asquith  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“No one who has not been through it can know the chilly, paralyzing, deadening depression of hope deferred and energy wasted and vitality run to seed. I sometimes think it is the most tragic thing in life.”
H. H. Asquith

“Of all human troubles, the most hateful is to feel you have the capacity of power and yet you have no field to exercise it.”
H. H. Asquith

“A trial judge should be quick, courteous and wrong. That is not to say that the Court of Appeal should be slow, rude and right, for that would be usurping the role of the House of Lords.”
H.H. Asquith
