Constancy to purpose
“The secret of success is constancy to purpose.”
Benjamin Disraeli, appearing in The Trust Edge
More about Disraeli from Wikipedia
“Disraeli's conservatism proposed a paternalistic society with the social classes intact, but with the working class receiving support from the establishment. He emphasized the importance of social obligation rather than individualism. The phrase was coined because Disraeli feared a Britain divided into two nations, one of the rich and one of the poor, as a result of increased industrialization and inequality. One-nation conservatism was his solution to this division, namely a system of measures to improve the lives of the people, provide social support and protect the working classes.”
