Benjamin Disraeli
Image
I was told, continued Egremont, that an impassable gulf divided the Rich from the Poor I was told that the Privileged and the People formed Two Nations, governed by different laws, influenced by different manners, with no thoughts or sympathies in common with an innate inability of mutual comprehension.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
