Wit of Disraeli.

Despair is the conclusion of fools. A pure conscience may defy city gossips. Development is the disoovery of utility. Knowledge is the foundation of eloquence. We make our fortunes and we call them fate. To revive faith is more difficult than to create it. Candor is a great virtue. There is a jharm. a healthy charm, in frankness. Woman alone can organize a drawingroom; man succeeds sometimes in a library. Circumstances are beyond the control 3f man; but his conduct it' in his own power. Money is power, and rare are the heads that can withstand the possession >f great power. Flattery is the destruction of all good fellowship; it is like a qualmish liquor in the midst of a bottle of wine. Perhaps there is nothing mere lovely Hum the love of beautiful women who ire not jealous of each other’s charms. Next to knowing when to seize an opportunity, the most important thing in life is to know when to forego an advantage.
