More from Benjamin Disraeli
"Man is only truly great when he acts from the passions; never irresistible but when he appeals to the imagination."
"He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong."
"The fruit of my tree of knowledge is plucked, and it is this: “Adventures are to the adventurous.”"
"I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our Constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad."
"Never mind that; we came at last. And at the next change there will be something very superior to us—something with wings. Ah! That's it: we were fishes, and I believe we shall be crows."
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.
