Additional quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
He <nowiki>[</nowiki>Lord George Bentinck<nowiki>]</nowiki> dwelt much on the vicissitudes which must attend all merely foreign trade, which, though it should be encouraged, ought not to be solely relied on, as was the fashion of this day. Looking upon war as occasionally inevitable, he thought a commercial system based upon the presumption of perpetual peace to be full of ruin. His policy was essentially imperial and not cosmopolitan.
