Quotation of the Day for April 9, 2015



"Woolsey always said that the making of the treaty is the treaty. It doesn't matter what the terms are, just that there are terms. It's the goodwill that matters. When that runs out, the treaty is broken, whatever the terms say."

- Hilary Mantel, from her novel Wolf Hall. The historical character Thomas Cromwell is referring to his mentor Thomas Woolsey, Archbishop of York, cardinal, papal legate, and Lord Chancellor.
