Strana 361 - In all the transactions in which I have been engaged with prince Talleyrand, no man could have conducted himself with more firmness and ability in regard to his own country, or with more uprightness and honor in all his communications with the ministers of other countries, than prince Talleyrand.
Strana 361 - Holland added, that no man's private character had been more shamefully traduced,andno man's public character more mistaken and misrepresented, than the private and public character of prince Talleyrand. The Jacobins furnished the expenses of printing this paper, the object of which was to excite the indignation of the populace against Louis XVI and his ministers. Tallien soon became one of the most popular men of the revolutionary party, and was deeply concerned in the terrible commotions of the...
Strana 29 - True happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self; and, in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions; it loves shade and solitude, and naturally haunts groves and fountains, fields and meadows; in short, it feels...

So the storms of passion blew unheeded past one whose temper nothing could ruffle, and whose path towards his object nothing could obstruct. It was a lesson and a study, as well as a marvel, to see him disconcert, with a look of his keen eye, or a motion of his chin, a whole piece of wordy talk...

Strana 279 - You do not even believe in God. You have betrayed and deceived everybody. You would sell even your own father.
Strana 159 - ... from the neutrality thus to be purchased. He said, that the receipt of the money might be so disguised as 'to prevent its being considered as a breach of neutrality by England ; and thus save us from being embroiled with that power. Concerning the twelve hundred thousand livres little was said ; that being completely understood, on all sides, to be required for the officers of government, and therefore needing no further explanation.
Strana 208 - Autun, which you formerly governed ; we grant you, moreover, the liberty to wear ^he secular costume, and to administer all civil affairs, whether in the office you now fill, or in others to which your government may call you." This brief was taken by M. de Talleyrand as a permission to become a layman, and even to take a wife. The lady he married — born in the East Indies, and divorced from M.
