Speech http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1865/feb/27/adjourned-debate-resumed in the House of Commons (27 February 1865). The origin of the famous epigram, "Tenant right is landlord wrong."
1860s
from a transcript of the video interview "Understanding Relativity," published at webofstories.com
As soon as you have to decide and choose, it's wrong. And the more you decide about, the more wrong it gets. Some people, they paint abstract, so they sit there thinking about it because their thinking makes them feel they're doing something. But my thinking never makes me feel I'm doing anything.

Context: The relation of landlord and tenant is not an ideal one, but any relations in a social order will endure if there is infused into them some of that spirit of human sympathy, which qualifies life for immortality. Despotisms endure while they are benevolent, and aristocracies while noblesse oblige is not a phrase to be referred to with a cynical smile. Even an oligarchy might be permanent if the spirit of human kindness, which harmonises all things otherwise incompatible, is present.
“You may think there is a lot wrong with you, but there is also a lot right with you.”

There again we see that the frenzy of impartiality, like any other frenzy, leads to injustice.
