In a progressive country change is constant; change is inevitable.
From Benjamin Disraeli
There is no gambling like politics.
A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.
The pursuit of science leads only to the insoluble.
There is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations.
Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power.
We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end.
I repeat... that all power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people and for the people all springs, and all must exist.
Everyone likes flattery; and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel.
Read no history: nothing but biography, for that is life without theory.
