Some Disraeli Epigrams.
The following are some of the littleknown epigrams of Lord Beaconsfield recently collected by an admirer of Disraeli : “Be frank and explicit. That is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and to confuse that of others. “What we call the heart is a nervous sensation, like shyness, which gradually disappears in society. “Nobody should look anxious except those who have no anxiety. “Women are the only people that get on. A man works all his life, and thinks he has done, a wonderful thing if, with one leg in the grave and no hair on his head, he manages to get a coronet; and a woman dances at a ball with soma young fellow or other and pretends she thinks him charming, and be makes her a peeress on the spot.”
