"Man is only truly great when he acts from the passions; never irresistible but when he appeals to the imagination."
"When asked about belief in God, he replied that he believed what most intelligent men believed. When asked what that was, he said, 'like most intelligent men I don't say.'"
"When a man fell into his anecdotage it was a sign for him to retire from the world."
"The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own."
"The most important thing in life is to know how to live."
About Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)
British Prime Minister who built modern Conservative populism; the only PM of Jewish heritage and a celebrated novelist before politics. Closely associated with Lord Salisbury (his Conservative successor as PM). For an intellectual contrast, see William Ewart Gladstone, four-time Liberal Prime Minister — the two alternated as PM four times — Gladstone's free-trade moralism and Disraeli's imperialist pragmatism are the founding poles of British party politics.
