Benjamin Disraeli
The press is not only free, it is powerful. That power is ours. It is the proudest that man can enjoy. It was not granted by monarchs, it was not gained for us by aristocracies but it sprang from the people, and, with an immortal instinct, it has always worked for the people.
Benjamin Disraeli
A sophisticated rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity.
Benjamin Disraeli
