How fair is a garden amid the toils and passions of existence.

Under this roof are the heads of the family of Rothschild - a name famous in every capital of Europe and every division of the globe. If you like, we shall divide the United States into two parts, one for you, James [Rothschild], and one for you, Lionel [Rothschild]. Napoleon will do exactly and all that I shall advise him.

The fruit of my tree of knowledge is plucked, and it is this: “Adventures are to the adventurous.”

People are defeated by easy, victorious and cheap successes more than by adversity.

Rothschild is the lord and master of the money markerts of the world and virtually lord and master of everything else.

The difference between a misfortune and a calamity is this: If Gladstone fell into the Thames, it would be a misfortune. But if someone dragged him out again, that would be a calamity.

I feel a very unusual sensation - if it is not indigestion, I think it must be gratitude.
