“It has always been my temptation to put myself in other people's shoes: even into a horse's shoes as he strains before the heavy dray”
"Winston and Clementine" http://www.winstonchurchill.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=761 <br class="br">Context: It has always been my temptation to put myself in other people's shoes: even into a horse's shoes as he strains before the heavy dray; into a ballerina's points as she feels age weigh upon her spring; into Cinderella's slippers as she danced till midnight; into the jackboot that kicks; into the Tommy's boots that tramp; into the magic seven-leaguers. With experience of age I have learned to control this habit of sympathy which deforms truth.

Van Praet then rebelled against the fact that Leopold I had already had several mistresses there, which according to the private secretary was detrimental to the popularity of the monarchy.
