Benjamin Disraeli

Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time. ”

Grief is the agony of an instant; the indulgence of grief the blunder of a life. ”

If a man be gloomy let him keep to himself. No one has the right to go croaking about society, or what is worse, looking as if he stifled grief. ”

London is a modern Babylon. ”

There can be economy only where there is efficiency. ”

Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future. ”
