Man is made to adore and to obey: but if you will not command him, if you give him nothing to worship, he will fashion his own divinities, and find a chieftain in his own passions.
From Benjamin Disraeli
Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.
One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.
Without publicity there can be no public support, and without public support every nation must decay.
It destroys one's nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being.
The secret of success is to be ready when your opportunity comes.
The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians.
In politics nothing is contemptible.
There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable; for in politics there is no honour.
Fame and power are the objects of all men. Even their partial fruition is gained by very few; and that, too, at the expense of social pleasure, health, conscience, life.
