The stage is a supplement to the pulpit, where virtue, according to Plato's sublime idea, moves our love and affection when made visible to the eye.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
The most dangerous strategy is to jump a chasm in two leaps.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.
