The palace is not safe when the cottage is not happy.
From Benjamin Disraeli
Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor.
What we anticipate seldom occurs: but what we least expect generally happens.
William Gladstone has not a single redeeming defect.
A Conservative Government is an organized hypocrisy.
Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.
As for our majority... one is enough.
No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition.
Damn your principles! Stick to your party.
I never deny. I never contradict. I sometimes forget.
