The Duke of Wellington brought to the post of first minister immortal fame,-a quality of success which would almost seem to include all others.

Almost everything that is great has been done by youth.

You have despoiled churches. You have threatened every corporation and endowment in the country. You have examined into everybodys affairs. You have criticised every profession and vexed every trade. No one is certain of his property, and nobody knows what duties he may have to perform to-morrow. This is the policy of confiscation as compared with that of concurrent endowment.

Consider Ireland.... You have a starving population, an absentee aristocracy, and an alien Church, and in addition the weakest executive in the world. That is the Irish Question.

'A sound Conservative government,' said Taper, musingly. 'I understand: Tory men and Whig measures.'

There is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations.

Success is the child of audacity.
