As for that, said Waldenshare, sensible men are all of the same religion. Pray, what is that? inquired the Prince. Sensible men never tell.
Benjamin Disraeli
Popular privileges are consistent with a state of society in which there is great inequality of position. Democratic rights, on the contrary, demand that there should be equality of condition as the fundamental basis of the society they regulate.
Benjamin Disraeli
Change is as inexorable as time, yet nothing meets with more resistance.
Benjamin Disraeli
Next to knowing when to seize an opportunity, the most important thing in life is to know when to forego an advantage.
