The press is not only free, it is powerful. That power is ours. It is the proudest that man can enjoy. It was not granted by monarchs, it was not gained for us by aristocracies but it sprang from the people, and, with an immortal instinct, it has always worked for the people.

Benjamin Disraeli

The nation is represented by a family,--the Royal family,--and if that family is educated with a sense of responsibility and a sentiment of public duty, it is difficult to exaggerate the salutary influence it may exercise over a nation.
Benjamin Disraeli
A sophisticated rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity.
Benjamin Disraeli
Candor is the brightest gem of criticism.
Benjamin Disraeli
Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds.
Benjamin Disraeli
The very phrase 'foreign affairs' makes an Englishman convinced that I am about to treat of subjects with which he has no concern.
