Disraeli on Movement.
He was as precocious as they come. The idea of practicing Law left him feeling stale and useless. He tried and failed quite young in Business and Art. Writer-thinker-politician Benjamin Disraeli felt most alive when he was doing something both public and difficult:
I am ashamed of being 'nervous.' Dyspepsia always makes me wish for a civil war....I am dying for action, and rust like a Damascus sabre in the sheath of a poltroon.
--Disraeli, A. Maurois (Random House 1928)
