Benjamin Disraeli

Romance has been elegantly defined as the offspring of fiction and love.

The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can ever end.

We are all born for love. . . . It is the principle of existence, and its only end.

Man is only truly great when he acts from the passions.

Man is only truly great when he acts from his passions.

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.

Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think.

No success in public life can compensate for failure in the home.

To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step in knowledge.

The secret of success is constancy of purpose.

The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend.

Nothing can resist the human will that will stake even its existence on its stated purpose.
