Benjamin Disraeli
Every production of genius must be the production of enthusiasm.

In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes and for all the rest they are careless of neighbors.
Benjamin Disraeli
