Benjamin Disraeli Quotes:
Ocupation: Former Leader of the House of Commons
Life: December 21, 1804 - April 19, 1881
Birthday: December 21
Death: April 19
This is the third time that, in the course of six years, during which I have had the lead of the Opposition in the House of Commons, I have stormed the Treasury Benches: twice, fruitlessly, the third time with a tin kettle to my tail which rendered the race hopeless. You cannot, therefore, be surprised, that I am a little wearied of these barren victories, which like Alma , Inkerman, and Balaclava , may be glorious but are certainly nothing more.
