Benjamin Disraeli
All of us encounter, at least once in our life, some individual who utters words that make us think forever. There are men whose phrases are oracles who condense in one sentence the secrets of life who blurt out an aphorism that forms a character or illustrates an existence.
Benjamin Disraeli
