Teach us that wealth is not elegance, that profusion is not magnificence, that splendor is not beauty.
~ Benjamin Disraeli
As for our majority... one is enough.
There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable for in politics there is no honour.
There is no gambling like politics.
The practice of politics in the East may be defined by one word: dissimulation.
In politics nothing is contemptible.
Finality is not the language of politics.
Never complain and never explain.
Without tact you can learn nothing.
There is no education like adversity.
We cannot learn men from books.
Man is only great when he acts from passion.
It destroys one's nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being.
The secret of success is constancy to purpose.
One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.
Success is the child of audacity.
Man is not the creature of circumstances, circumstances are the creatures of men. We are free agents, and man is more powerful than matter.
Change is inevitable. Change is constant.
