Benjamin Disraeli
A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.
Benjamin Disraeli
As men advance in life, all passions resolve themselves into money. Love, ambition, even poetry, end in this.
Benjamin Disraeli
Great countries are those that produce great people.
Benjamin Disraeli
The Italians say it is not necessary to be a stag but we ought not to be a tortoise.
