Benjamin Disraeli

Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action. ”

Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure. ”

Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most. ”

Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke. ”

The services in wartime are fit only for desperadoes, but in peace are only fit for fools. ”

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action. ”

Fame and power are the objects of all men. Even their partial fruition is gained by very few; and that, too, at the expense of social pleasure, health, conscience, life. ”

The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend. ”

Colonies do not cease to be colonies because they are independent. ”

To tax the community for the advantage of a class is not protection: it is plunder. ”
