The secret of success is constancy of purpose.

That doctrine of peace at any price has done more mischief than any I can well recall that have been afloat in this country. It has occasioned more wars than any of the most ruthless conquerors. It has disturbed and nearly destroyed that political equilibrium so necessary to the liberties and the welfare of the world.

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.

He has to learn that petulance is no sarcasm, and that insolence is not invective

The pursuit of science leads only to the insoluble.

We cannot learn men from books.

How very seldom do you encounter in the world a man of great abilities, acquirements, experience, who will unmask his mind, unbutton his brains, and pour forth in careless and picturesque phrase all the results of his studies and observation; his knowledge of men, books, and nature. On the contrary, if a man has by any chance an original idea, he hoards it as if it were old gold; and rather avoids the subject with which he is most conversant, from fear that you may appropriate his best thoughts.

It was not reason that besieged Troy; it was not reason that sent forth the Saracen from the desert to conquer the world; that inspired the crusades; that instituted the monastic orders; it was not reason that produced the Jesuits; above all, it was not reason that created the French Revolution.

The right honourable gentleman [Sir Robert Peel] caught the Whigs bathing and walked away with their clothes.

There is no gambling like politics.

Inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination

Otto von Bismarck: The Germans have just bought a new country in Africa where Jews and pigs will be tolerated.
Benjamin Disraeli: Fortunately, we are both here (in England).

Had it not been for you, I should have remained what I was when we first met, a prejudiced, narrow-minded being, with contracted sympathies and false knowledge, wasting my life on obsolete trifles, and utterly insensible to the privilege of living in this wondrous age of change and progress.

News is that which comes from the North, East, West and South, and if it comes from only one point on the compass, then it is a class publication and not news
