Benjamin Disraeli

I repeat... that all power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people and for the people all springs, and all must exist. ”

Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People. ”

What is earnest is not always true; on the contrary, error is often more earnest than truth. ”

Success is the child of audacity. ”

An author who speaks about their own books is almost as bad as a mother who speaks about her own children. ”

Genius, when young, is divine. ”

Duty cannot exist without faith. ”

A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art. ”

Nature, like man, sometimes weeps from gladness. ”

Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed. ”
