Never Complain, Never Explain
"Never complain, never explain" is a public relations strategy that has been become particularly associated with the British royal family. Origins The phrase is believed to have originated with the prime minister of the United Kingdom, Benjamin Disraeli. It was attributed to Disraeli by John Morley in 1903, as quoted in Morley's ''Life of William Ewart Gladstone'' with the saying originating from "Maxims for a Statesman" by Benjamin Jowett, the Master of Balliol College, Oxford, written between 1873 and 1876. One of Jowett's 11 maxims was "never quarrel, never explain, never hate, never fret, never fail".

A man is judged by his character as a whole – not by individual acts." The writer Walter Bagehot in his 1867 work ''The English Constitution'' wrote of the British royal family that "Above all things our royalty ...

Public Relations
Public relations (PR) is the practice of managing and disseminating information from an individual or an organization (such as a business, government agency, or a nonprofit organization) to the public in order to influence their perception. Public relations and publicity differ in that PR is controlled internally, whereas publicity is not controlled and contributed by external parties.

The exposure mostly is media-based. This differentiates it from advertising as a form of marketing communications. Public relations aims to create or obtain coverage for clients for free, also known as earned media, rather than paying for marketing or advertising also known as paid media. But in the early 21st century, advertising is also a part of broader PR activities. An example of good public relations would be ge ...

The Private Man, The Public Role
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender.
