Life Advice From ‘Downton Abbey’

If you love the characters of this manor house show, then you will likely enjoy these tidbits of life advice.

Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham

“There is no such thing as a marriage between two intelligent people that does not sometimes have to negotiate thin ice.”

Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham

“Principles are like prayers. Noble, of course, but awkward at a party.”


Sybil Crawley

“It’s the gloomy things that need our help. If everything in the garden is sunny, why meddle?”

Mrs. Hughes

“My advice, Daisy, is to go as far in life as God and luck allow.”

Hugh “Shrimpie” MacClare, father of Rose

“Love is like riding or speaking French. If you don’t learn it young, it’s hard to get the trick of it later.”


Cora Crawley, Lady Grantham

“I think accepting change is quite as important as defending the past.”

Carson

“In my opinion, to misquote Doctor Johnson, if you’re tired of style, you are tired of life.”

Isobel Crawley

“Cousin Violet has never let a matter of convenience stand in the way of a principle.”


Mrs. Patmore

“If you must pay money, better to a doctor than an undertaker.”

Branson

“Real love means giving someone the power to hurt you.”
