Quote by Benjamin Disraeli

Yes! I know what I have to face. I have to face a coalition. The combination may be successful. A coalition has before this been successful. But coalitions, although successful, have always found this, that their triumph has been brief. This too I know, that England does not love coalitions.

Yes! I know what I have to face. I have to face a coalition.
