John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester said that. This is his most famous verse, teasing his great friend King Charles II:
Here lies a great and mighty King,
Whose promise none relied on;
He never said a foolish thing,
Nor ever did a wise one.
Charles II pointed out that "This is very true: for my words are my own, and my actions are my ministers'.
