You can tell the strength of a nation by the women behind its men.
From Benjamin Disraeli
The right honourable gentleman caught the Whigs bathing, and walked away with their clothes. He has left them in the full enjoyment of their liberal positions, and he is himself a strict conservative of their garments.
My objection to Liberalism is this that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind namely, politics of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.
I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.
It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.
A precedent embalms a principle.
No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.
There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Man is not the creature of circumstances, circumstances are the creatures of men. We are free agents, and man is more powerful than matter.
Man is only great when he acts from passion.
