332 psl. - He entered with the same energy into all our different amusements ; we played a good deal at Goostree's, and I well remember the intense earnestness which he displayed when joining in those games of chance. He perceived their increasing fascination, and soon after suddenly abandoned them for ever."* It was by this vice that he was himself most nearly insnared.
32 psl. - Let us, then, unite to put an end to a system which has been proved to be the blight of commerce, the bane of agriculture, the source of bitter divisions among classes, the cause of penury, fever, mortality, and crime among the people.

274 psl. - All the business of war, and indeed all the business of life, is to endeavour to find out what you don't know by what you do." And he went on: " That's what I called ' guessing what was at the other side of the hill...
164 psl. - His speeches this session have been first-rate. His last speech, altogether burked in the Times, but pretty well given in the ' Post,' [was] admirable. He cuts Cobden to ribbons ; and Cobden writhes and quails under him just as Peel did in 1846. And mark my words, spite of Lord Stanley, Major Beresford, and Mr. Philips and the Herald...
185 psl. - Nassau to Kneller's hand decreed To fix him graceful on the bounding steed; So well in paint and stone they judg'd of merit: But kings in wit may want discerning spirit.
6 psl. - Disraeli, who is the ablest man among them; I consider him unprincipled and disappointed and in despair he has tried the effect of bullying. I think with you that they will return to the crib after prancing, capering, and snorting; but a crack or two of the whip well applied may hasten and insure their return. Disraeli alone is mischievous, and with him I have no desire to keep terms.
