Who said “One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.”?

“To innovate is not to reform.”

“Pure innovation is more gross than error.”

“Innovators are inevitably controversial.”

“Great innovations should not be forced on slender majorities.”

“CREATIVITY is thinking up new things. INNOVATION is doing new things.”

“A constitutional statesman is in general a man of common opinions and uncommon abilities.”

“Poverty is an anomaly to rich people. It is very difficult to make out why people who want dinner do not ring the bell.”

“It is often said that men are ruled by their imaginations; but it would be truer to say they are governed by the weakness of their imaginations.”

“The best reason why Monarchy is a strong government is, that it is an intelligible government. The mass of mankind understand it, and they hardly anywhere in the world understand any other.”

“The Sovereign has, under a constitutional monarchy such as ours, three rights -- the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn. And a king of great sense and sagacity would want no others.”

“Our law very often reminds one of those outskirts of cities where you cannot for a long time tell how the streets come to wind about in so capricious and serpent-like a manner. At last it strikes you that they grew up, house by house, on the devious tracks of the old green lanes; and if you follow on to the existing fields, you may often find the change half complete.”
