Speech in the House of Commons (2 February 1851)

I remember—the interruption of the hon. Gentleman reminds me of the words of a great writer, who said that "Grace was beauty in action." '''Sir, I say that justice is truth in action. Truth should animate an opposition, and I hope it does animate this opposition.;''
— Benjamin Disraeli
