A dark horse, which had never been thought of, rushed past the grandstand in sweeping triumph.
Benjamin Disraeli
Rothschild is the Lord and Master of the money markets of the world, and of course virtually Lord and Master of everything else. He literally held the revenues of Southern Italy in pawn, and Monarchs and Ministers of all countries courted his advice and were guided by his suggestions.
Benjamin Disraeli
Nine-tenths of all existing books are nonsense.
Benjamin Disraeli
Damn your principles! Stick to your party.
