| BENJAMIN DISRAELI |
|
| A man who is not a Liberal at sixteen has no heart; a man who is not a Conservative at sixty has no head. As a general rule, nobody has money who ought to have it. He was one of those men who think that the world can be saved by writing a pamphlet. I must follow the people. Am I not their leader? Never complain and never explain. Nurture your mind with great thoughts. Plagiarists, at least, have the merit of preservation. The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own. The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations. Upon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends. |
